Re: VIC PETSCII Competitions

Is there a Petscii editor which fits the non-expanded Vic20 for this event? I've got an idea for participation, but unsure how to proceed.

One has the Rainbow badge, the other has the original badge, both have the same two pin power supply connection. I'm completely new to the VIC20 as I've never owned one back in the day.
