It has a low serial number (under 500, not counting prefix numbers), and I don't think they made too many of them. I got it nearly new (customer return to the dealer in the first 90 days) around 1978/1979 for about $1,100, including a C2N tape drive. Up until recently, the only things I have had to fix were worn keys from too much space invaders ($35 for a replacement PCB in 1980) and the $C000 ROM died on me a few years ago. Lately, the whole thing has been flakey and I'm about to remove all the 40 and 28 pin sockets and replace them with machined-pin ones. This is the one that I used to verify that my port of Zork from the C-64 to the PET was mostly successful. I still have a bug or two to iron out relating to how the editor firmware links lines together. I have thought of that as well... Embedding the entire video circuit in an FPGA wouldn't be too hard. Given the size, though, embedding the PIAs and VIAs might be handy, too, but that's a lot of pins, and it's not like they aren't available still. Way too much work for me, though. I always wanted one, but never could afford it. Not sure what I would have done with it, so I guess it's probably for the best that I spent my money/effort elsewhere 20 years ago. -ethan __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
