[comp.sys.cbm] Hardware hacking on older CBMs

peter@stpl.UUCP (Peter CAMILLERI) (01/11/89)

Hello World!

I have recently aquired a number of CBMs. In particular

      2 - 8096 PETs ( 6502, 32K main ram, 64k aux ram, 80 column display )
      2 - 8250 Disk Drives ( 2 floppies, 1 Meg each )
      1 - SuperPET  ( 6502/6809, 32k main ram, 64k aux ram
                      80 column display, os/9 adapter board. )

What can I say, I'm fond of older computers. My posting concerns two things.

1) Could someone direct me to a source of information on hardware interfacing
   to the PET. Also needed is information on assembly language programming
   tools and utilities ( like editors and assemblers etc ). 

2) On a more local note, I have far too much equipment for my own needs,
   so, people in the southern ontario region, make me a reasonable offer.

Since you are in Canada, perhaps the easiest source for information for you
would be TPUG (Toronto PET User's Group):  416 733-2933.  Another group which
supports these machines is CBUG (Chicago B128 User's Group), 312 456-8720
(7PM-11PM CST).  For service, sales, etc. NorthWest Music Center in Wheeling
Illinois appears popular (312 520-2540), but I've not had any personal
involvement with them.  They would all likely know of folks interested in
whatever equipment you wish to sell as well.
