Currently no
one knows (or is saying they know) how to encrypt 7800
carts.
Actually, I seem to recall that a guy in rec.games.video.classic has
figured it out, but there hasn't been any practical application of it
yet. But I haven't read r.g.v.c in a LONG time, so things may have
changed...
I wish I could remember his name... he was one of the big cheese
techie
types in the newsgroup that was always hacking up weird stuff, so I
don't
doubt that he did it.

My good friend, Bruce Tomlin, was the person who did that.

I got an edsi drive, and a PS for it. Anyone know how to get the LSI11
menus for it? I had it written down, but I lost the paper. (Someone
cleaned my desk!), Also, does V7 have an MSCP driver? What O/Ses do?

Just curious if anyone knows what the starting serial number was for the
Commodore Pets? So far, the following are the earliest Pets I have. I
believe these both came from the local university at one of their sales.
Description Model Serial #
Commodore Pet Pet 2001-8 0035117
Commodore Pet Pet 2001-8 0037625

New subject: c-16 and Plus/4
I remember seeing a post here a week or two ago asking about the
availability of Commodore 16 and Plus/4 cartridges. I response, I
gathered, was that they were not very common here in teh United States,
and seemed just altogether uncommon.... maybe even some doubt as to the
actual number of titles created.
Recently, I picked up my first c-16 / Plus/4 cart -- it was Scott Adams
adventure game Strange Odyssey sold by Commodore. This titles was not
mentioned by those on this listserv.
Anyway, I also have a TON of other titles that I have been using for some
time on my PC emulator called Minus/4. A very good emulator. So, I guess
what I am finally getting at is it seems there actually WERE a lot of
different titles created for these machines, though I do not know the
actual numbers of titles, quantities, or popularity in the US. Could
anyone out there fill us in on some facts? I just don't have the
experience in these machines needed to accurately inform others.
Finally, does anyone have a c-16 or Plus/4 machine for sale or trade. I
just have this one cartridge, but I have a burning desire to acquire one
or more of these machines. Please let me know.
My two cents worth,

The two PETs in this house are 0014090 and 0020272. Both are PET
2001-8's, like yours, but only the first one has the chicklet keyboard and
internal cassette unit. The other one has the full-size keyboard and the
sharp corners of the metal case have been rounded.
I don't know if this has been of any help. :)
