Hello all! I got some new schematics and data sheets from William Levak, and he also answered some questions about the PET schematics, see <URL:http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/pet/answers.txt>. The attached question is not answered in that document. Marko ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 13 May 1998 23:32:12 From: "William M. Levak" <wlevak@umich.edu> To: Marko Mäkelä <msmakela@cc.hut.fi> Subject: Re: PET schematics bugs (fwd) I've checked the schematics and it does appear that $E900-EFFF should be available. I've looked at the memory on my 8032 and it looks like the space is available. The only thing left is to make up an EPROM with the screen editor in the lower half and see if it works. I'll try to do that in the next couple weeks. > From: Andre Fachat <a.fachat@physik.tu-chemnitz.de> > To: cbm-hackers@dot.tcm.hut.fi > Subject: Re: PET schematics bugs > > > More on the PET I/O area size: > > The 8032 schematics have the ROM for $E*** labeled as a 2316, meaning > it being 2k.
