- A request for those who wish to wallow in nostalgia...
-
- I have recently acquired a couple of old CBM machines (which
- look like PETs, but don't have "PET" anywhere on the casing) - a model
- 3032 and a model 4016, plus a 2031 disk drive, Commodore cassette, and
- Commodore 4022 printer. Unfortunately there are no manuals with them
- at all :-(
-
- Could some kind soul let me know what commands I need to
- use to save and retrieve files from disk and cassette? Are the
- commands for saving and loading BASIC files the same as for m/code?
- Printer commands would be handy too...
-
- I'm also on the lookout for a simple word processing program
- and other utilities - either in BASIC or m/code, so if anyone has
- recommendations, examples, or pointers, I'd be interested to hear from
- you. I'd also like some manuals, so if anyone knows where I can get a
- set... (the more local the source is, the better for me :-)
-
- I must admit that these machines are not exactly the sort I'm
- used to :-) Any help would be appreciated. By the way, does anyone
- know if it's possible to move memory chips from one machine to the
- other?
-
-
- Roger.
