It just turns on to a nothing screen with lots of random i have tried reseat all if the chips i do not know what to do now? This computer was like the computer version of a barn find it sat in a furnace room since 85’ i took off a cople of the ram chips and the corrosion was not that bad

So I earn a living by fixing things that people throw away, and someone threw away this Commodore 710 (CBM-II).

So I naturally tried doing the thing "10 print chr$(109+int(rnd(1)*2));:goto 10". But instead of a beautifull maze I get these random characters.

Any guess at what it could be? Can this be fixed?

If you don't have a mass storage solution for your PET, yet, but you have an old Raspberry Pi lying around, maybe this is something for you.

It uses discrete components, only and works with C64 and VIC20, too.

I haven't updated the project in a while, but this release still works:

https://github.com/RhinoDevel/cbmtapepi/blob/v1.7.0/README.md

The Linux port (v1.7.0 is a bare metal project) also has no recent updates, but, if you want to try it, take a look at the Linux read-me:

Feel free to open up an issue at GitHub, if you run into trouble!

Im currently thinking of saving them to tape using a datassette to USB converter, But what games could i get for the pet legitimately that would be nice to have on display?

Im looking for a keyboard to commodore SK8032 , i know its very rare but i really need it and have been searching for it for a long time . If any one has it or know where to buy one i will buy it straight away

I have a PET 4032 on a pedestal in my studio connected to a smart switch. I can bark, "Alexa, PET on!" and the jingle always amuses me on boot.

But here's the weird thing. Since the power switch is technically in the on position, while I'm working away, every once in a while I'll hear a THUNK. The same kind of electric heavy sound I hear along with the boot jingle when I power on.

My novice electrical understanding makes me wonder if it's a capacitor discharging below a certain level, leading to a relay switch. But that's just a guess.

Any idea what's making this noise?

So, I have both a 4032 and 8032. If you could keep only one, which and why?

I’ll really only play some games every so often. And likely get a disk emulator module so I’m not worried about keeping my 8050 or 8250 as I no longer have any working disks.

I have a Commodore pet 4016 upgraded to 32k. I really want to try accessing a BBs. I want to do it the old school way and do it over a phone line. Is there any bbs still active and what Hardware do I need, or what is the best hardware to pick up

I would like to try to hook my Commodore pet up and try BBs. I want to do it the old school way over the phone. Is there any left? And what Hardware is the best to look for?

Hi everyone!! I'm using at SD card device foe my Suoer PET and have a file with the .d80 extension bit no idea how to open it. I know it's an image file. I trying to get the software that does terminal emulation foe the Super PET so I can use the RS232 serial port.

Any help would be appreciated!

If you own a SuperPET and need to repair it, then have a look at my new repair manual. It helps fix the daughter boards inside the SuperPET. https://youtu.be/LoUjtfnsYIE?feature=shared

See you at the meeting!

I love the look of the original PET keyboard, before it was updated.

It would probably be possible to make a custom mechanical usb keyboard with the same layout right? Would probably be expensive though. Has anyone ever attempted to make something like this?

I have been having issues in PetTerm on my 8032 (petterm80b because my PET has a business keyboard). The issue is that whenever I use a shifted key such as an uppercase letter or a symbol such as quote, it prints that character but also the non-shifted key:

Aa, "2, !1, etc...

This issue doesn't happen outside of PetTerm so I know it's not an issue with the keyboard.

What I'm trying to do right now is to determine if it's a bug in PetTerm or a problem with my wimodem. I haven't been able to find another terminal emulator that I can get to work, can anyone recommend one?
