Greetings! A while ago, I visited the local electronics junk store, and was surprised to find about 25 Commodore PET machines being sold for $5 each! Well, this price, along with a twinge of nostalgia, caused me to break down and buy one... and now it's sitting in a corner of the room, staring into space, and probably dreaming of better days. I'd like to experiment with it (perhaps connect it to my PC as a terminal, for starters). My questions is: does anybody know where I could get an old technical manual for the PET? Or, better yet, is there someone out there who has knowledge of the innards, and how they connect to the many strange output ports? (Some ASCII schematics, etc, would be greatly appreciated...) Thanks a bunch, Jan Duha duha@ee470.ee.mcgill.ca duha@biomed.mcgill.ca
