You all probably already know this, but anyway: The 8296 actually has
128k ram. 96k is arranged the same way as an 8096 (or 8032 with 64k
expansion). The remaining 32k is partially used for video ram (iirc an
8296 have more video ram than all other PETs), and partially with a
simple hardware jumper you can map ram on the areas where you otherwise
can have expansion ROMs.

So atleast in theory there might be some 8296 software that doesn't
work on an 8096.
