I purchased a PET 2001-8 with a board that I do not recognize. The makers name on both boards (including the small one on the right top) are marked SKYLES ELECTRIC WORKS.

I tried searching for this particular board but can't seem to locate it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Well, the 2001-8 came with 8k RAM installed, I did notice that there are multiple boards in the system, but one of them likely includes additional RAM unless it was put on the board directly.

That setup in the upper right does look like the one in the picture on page 2 of the sales guide from. Per the caption under the photo it is the "The Skyles MacroTea and Memory Boards"

The skyles board intrigues me…… your PET has 2114 replacement boards as mentioned above (replacing system ram) but this board is a sram board also…. With what looks like a toolkit rom (perhaps)… all mounted off the expansion port … I wonder if this is SRAM for $a000/$9000 memory locations assuming the toolkit occupies $b000
