Hi everybody, I got a Pet Disk and a Pet Vet few months back for my 8032 PET. The Pet Disk works just fine, I am able to read and write files, including those that already were present on the 2GB micro SD card that came with the Pet Disk.
Does anybody know where I could get hold of Commodore Pet arcade games, or other BASIC games for the 80 column PET. Most I have been able to find on-line are for the 40 column Pet.
Another issue that is bothering me is the fact that once I install the Per Vet in the 6502 socket, my display starts to become a little bit shakey, and not rock steady like it is without the Pet Vet board installed. In all other respects, my 8032 seems to work fine with the Pet Vet.
I thought, though, that this Pet Vet board by-passes the RAM, SRAM and ROM chips and uses its own on board BASIC 4, memory e.t.c. If however, I try to reomove any of the motherboard's 2114s, or 4116, or ROM chips, the machine does not boot, unless fully polupated with its original chipload.
Is that how things should be or I'm I doing something wrong? The switches on the PET VET are as they should be for an 80 column BASIC 4 machine. As I mentioned the computer works fine with the PET VET, apart from the shaky display, especially in the bottom half of the screen, as if it is a little bit out of sync....
Could somebody enlighten me please?
Thanks a lot in advance.
