- Hi all...
-
- Picked up a PET (CBM) 8032 system today... unit came
- complete with 8050 dual-drive and 8010 modem.... (300bps...
- wow! the kind which you set to handset on the modem too!)
-
- Anyway, upon opening up the 8032, I noticed that the top
- motherboard says "64K" instead of 32k... I haven't booted
- the machine yet to see how much is REALLY there... but
- apparently I've got a 64k machine?
-
- Also, there are two add-on boards inside the unit:
-
- The first is plugged into the main motherboard IC socket
- UD-11... it has a small cable extension and terminates to
- a small board with 2 IC's on it... One IC is labeled
- "JiniMicro", the other just bears the MOS #80357.
-
- The second board it plugged into UD-12 directly... Its
- labeled: MICROTECH "Spacemaker II", has four IC sockets
- (A,B,C,&D) with two of the four sockets filled with MOS
- chips (A: "8032" and B: #901472-04), and also has a
- three-conductor wire that comes off it and terminates to a
- switch pasted on the outside of the case....
-
- What do these two boards do?
-
- I;m told the machine runs... but the drives need help.
- But my main concern is that the purpose of this switch
- is...
-
- Thanks for your help...
-
- TTFN...
