I see. Then I should probably rename that model "8296" to "8096" for the upcoming VICE release, where you can choose between 2001, 3032, 4032, 8032 and 8296 PETs (the keyboard can be switched separately to graphics/business. :-)) I would like to know those modifications, are they described in the manual? I could then make a "real" 8296 emulation, not only 8096 :-) In VICE, only the 2001 must be overworked, because it's IEEE488 in the ROM is completely broken (well at least load/save), so I have to hack VICE to catch this. I hope at least that the stuff about 8096 in PETio.doc is enough, because then the 8096, ie. $FFF0 register seems - to my testing :-) - be fully functional. Have a look at the next release!
