Got these two babys today..
Not Vic20, but those are SWEET.. Like older lady better..
Whooa! I knew PET 200 is a rebadged 8032-SK and PET 600 is a rebadged 8296-SK (some sources suggest 8096-SK). I didn't know of a rebadged 8296-D and thought if it existed, it would be PET 600-D or something.
Maybe Commodore figured out it was confusing enough with the low-profile CBM-II series B128/256 sold as CBM 610/620, and didn't want to add one more PET 6xx model to add to the confusion. The high-profile (w/ monitor) CBM-II machines are 710/720.

Nice! I miss my PETS (but I had no room for them and had to sell them). I also passed up about four 128-Ds a few years ago (should have bought at least one - they were super cheap). However, yesterday I found a VECTREX with about 6 cartridges at a garage sale for $5 Canadian . Never thought I'd find one in the wild.
Last saturday I started to make images of all my PET/CBM software. I'm using an old PC (486-80) that emulates various drives at the same time. As copier I use the copy program found on various demo disks of C= drives (uni????, forgot the whole name as I load it only using uni*) plus a selfmade diskcopy program (Turbo Pascal, sources free).Mikam73 wrote:Well.. First I need get some software to disc.. :wink:
I release the images after I have scanned them for private files; for example I got a disk with WordPro 3 and some private correspondence on it. You'll understand I have to remove the last.
