Or you can just use compatible EPROMS (2532 and 2716) that don't need adapters. Assuming that you get the 8032 working it would be good to use it to calculate checksums of your ROMs so we can make sure which ones are bad (if any); once we know that I'm sure someone here can help you out if you really can't find or program suitable EPROMs yourself.

So, let us know when the 8032's back in business.

Is thare any games or other software that can use the commodore 710 sound and video hardware?

As far as I know, very little software for the CBM-II a.k.a. B-series make advantage of the SID or try to perform any CRTC tricks. One probably can get pretty OK character based games. I believe some PET games can be run through emulation, I tried that once.
 
All the roms that are not solded in I am planing to use the eprom programer to test them, from my basic testing with swaping the 4016s roms into the 8032, a few roms from the 4016 are cruped, it looks like I will have to do a lot of reserch on eproms, mabe if some of the 4016 roms are eprom I will try reprograming them, my programer was made in the 80s
If I put tetris on an eprom how would I run it?
 
As I am back for a few days I did some testing, the cpu and and mos 901-147-10 3781 rom are dead and cruped.the old cpu in the 4016 was a mos6502a 2481 hong kong replasement mos mps 6502 4578 taiwan from a scraped germon 8032, I tested the 4016 with the known working cpu and 901 147 10 rom from the 8023 and it did not beep but I did get a vertcal bar on the screen that jumped like a hart beat, I dident think it was doing any good to the crt, so I switched it off, I am plesed to get some sines of life from the 4016, and I have the 8032 working only a blown filter and another bad 1k4 vidio chip

What is the likly problem with the 4016, I don't want to unsolder all the chips if I don't have to

I have got some more spare 1k4 static ram and a set of chips from a scraped german 8032 I got a mos mps 6502 4578 taiwan, mos 901465-23 0381, mos 901465-22 1481, mos 901447-29 5086, mos mps 6520 3279, mos mp56520 3579, mos mps 6522 1380, um6522a 8635, eprom m5l2716k 802831 japan, eprom tms 2532jol ms<triagal>p018 japan, unlables ic has 320 1979 on base, static ram? I have also got 4 um 6502a 88485 cpus as spares, I want to keep the commodors runing for a long time.
I am looking for some eproms and 16k dram

Congratulations!

After seeing the system on post #1, it's hard to believe it's working now.

Good job.
 
Nice done, but this seems to be the lightly broken 8032 that Rorypoole picked up along the way, not the 4016 described in the beginning of the thread?
 
I too believe you're right; the "commodore 8032 up and running" is a big clue.

Although at 68 characters/line it's kind of in between ;-)
 
yes the 8032 is fixed, but the 4016 is still a long way from working, it is in pieces all over my flat, lol

I had a problem with the 8032's keyboard some of the keys did not work well and the "a" did not work at all, I took it apart and cleaned the contacts with contact cleaner and cotton wool buds, and then re-coated the conductive rubber with "wire glue" its carbon bases and very conductive, now the keyboard is nely as good as now!

some time I will have to take the 8032 to pieces and cleaning it all up, to make it look brand new, I want the 8032 to be nely to factory condition and speck, but the 4016 will be heavily modded and look like it went threw a war, and they will be used side by side, and connected by the IEEE488 bus

I have been thinking about how I would have the 4016's old roms and now 8032 eproms in the 4016 and, switching between them when I want too, is not that hard to do

I have a micro itx amd e450 based motherboard with 8gb of ram I am going to put in the 4016 to work with the 4016's motherboard I have an IEEE488 to usb adapter for it and have fitted a socket in the 4016's main board on the IEEE488 bus for the e450 m/b and the petdisk's

I only made a basic BASIC program to test the 8032, and my BASIC is very rusty I haven't coded much since I was 12!

Rory,
I think others have mentioned that the Commodore PET IEEE bus is quite restricted and non standard. It may not want to 'talk' with the USB adapter. In most cases the IEEE 488 is connected between a controller (computer) and instruments (test equipment or peripherals). In your case you may have the condition where both devices (PET and PC) want to be the controller (not sure about the capability of your USB adapter). At a minimum you may have to write some custom driver software for the PC side.

I have seen an application where the PET was programmed in assembly language to be a more robust IEEE 488 controller and had many complex instruments hooked up to it. It was used to setup the instruments and acquire test results.
 
can you give me a link
