So I have been looking for a disk drive for my PET 4032, but all of the ones that have shown up on ebay have been ludicrously overpriced lately.
Anyway I bid on and won a 2040 for a very fair price today and I'm happy about that. Somewhat unfortunately it came with a CBM 8032 32B, which I really don't want or need (but must pay shipping for anyway).
But, I am curious about it. After a little googling I read that the 8032 32B was designed to accommodate an internal disk drive. However I could find no images of a machine so fitted.
Does anybody know if any 8032 32Bs had drives installed in them? Was this something that would have been done at the factory?
Anyway I'd love to hear the story behind this if there is one.
Thanks!
Also if the person I outbid by 88 cents uses this forum and is reading this, I'd be happy to offer the 8032 to you for a very low price.
