There are tree keyboard, first the chicklet keyboard (original PET 2001),
then the graphics keyboard with the 20 key numpad (PET 2001-N) and the last
one, the business keyboard (PET 2001-B,

and http://cbmmuseum.kuto.de/cbm_pet.html.

For some countries (e.g. Germany) there where some kits for the business
keyboard including an changed Exxx-EPROM (editor) with other keyboard
mappings and some changeable keyboard caps with the right characters on it.
