familiar with C64s (I own four). The SP9000 appears to be working: it boots up
and I can write programs that execute. But I don't know how to operate the disk
drive. I guess th e commands are a little different than regular Commodore
Basic. Can anyone help? Thanks, Jim in Toronto.

Basicly the PET9000 is a CBM8000 with a 6809 extension board.
There is a switch on the left side of the computer to switch between the
6502 and 6809 mode. In 6502 mode it has w black and white screen but
it works like a commodore 64. The basic 4.0 contains some special
commands to support the disk drive but the old commands works too.
for example
on the C64
load "*",8 launch the first file on the floppy disk.
on the CBM8000
dload "*" works the same way.
There are many documentation files availables at: ftp.funet.fi
