I think you mean

I know I owe you a PET test, but my 2001N (U.S. version of the 3032,
not the 2001-8) is still flakey when it comes to disk access (I'm
still trying to test my Zmachine port), and to make matters worse,
my laptop disappeared from a convention over the Memorial Day
holiday.  :-(

When I get a replacement, I should be able get things tested between
an 8032 (I have several working ones) and Windows.  The BASIC 2.0
tests will have to wait until I track down why my machine is unstable.
I have replaced the PIAs and VIAs; next on the list are the sockets.
