From PET Personal Computer Guide:

"The -011 ROM in early BASIC 1.0, 28-pin ROM PETs occasionly causes the
operator to lose control of the computer.  This happens most frequently
when the bottom line of the screen is being edited."

I don't remember whether my early PET has 24 or 28 pin ROMs.  It is in a
box at the bottom of my closet right now.
