I didn't know either, and I don't know what the limit is.  But it is wise
not to post binaries on this list, since there are dozens of passive
members on the list who probably aren't interested in the PET stuff. 
Currently there are 86 members, and only 20-40 have been posting to the
list.

(If anyone wants to un-sub-scribe from this list (hyphens inserted so that
the mailserver wouldn't reject this message), send a message with
"un-sub-scribe" (again without the hyphens) to
cbm-hackers-request@dot.tcm.hut.fi.)

This was the chip I was interested in, everything else was archived
already.  Isn't there any label on the EPROM?  The EPROM's type is not
interesting, it is a 2k chip anyway.

What about the character generator?  Didn't the computer have a German
keyboard?  According to the PET-board.txt file, the character generator
should be in socket UA3 in your machine.

OK, I'm looking forward to it.  Don't forget the EPROM labels.

The first one is BASIC 2 (or later) character ROM and the latter is the
screen editor ROM for BASIC 4, normal keyboard, no CRTC (40 columns).  You
can get this info from the /pub/cbm/firmware/computers/business/pet/00INDEX
file on ftp.funet.fi.
