I have a SuperPet with all the manuals and the second version of the

version.  Also, the APL files are not compatible with the first version.

When assembled in the 8032, there should be four switches on the right
side.  You set tham to R/W, 6809, UD12 RAM, and UD11 OFF.  When you turn
the computer on, it should come up in the Waterloo menu.  Put the language
disk in drive 1 and your working disk in drive 0.  Press the first letter
of the language you want and it should load from the drive.

I have seen some of the manuals advertised on amazon.com.  The complete
list of manuals is:

System Overview
Waterloo microFortran
Waterloo microPascal
Waterloo microBasic
Waterloo microAPL
Waterloo 6809 Assembler
Waterloo microCobol

These were all distributed by Howard W. Sams & Co., Inc. and are, of
course, all out of print.  Since these were distributed through normal
bookstores, they can sometimes be found in used book stores.
