The PET

The PET 4016 was the first computer I EVER had keyboard time on. By that time CBM had a true keyboard on the computer and had moved the tape drive ,1 out to an external device.
The office has a balls out machine, a 8032 with the 4040 dual drive. I had to really beg to get time on that machine.

Best games of the time...

1. Spacewar, Char graphics, but two player. One on one fight with one person on IJKL and the other on WASD. Talk about head to head.

2. Space Invaders. ML Program, just awsome for the time.

Bill, did the 2001-x series have the access to the ,8 for floppy? Or was that a later OS extension?
