Hi Cameron,
many thanks for putting this together!
I have a question on the SuperPET. Where there really SuperPETs with 128k RAM? In fact the SuperPET RAM expansion is entirely incompatible to the 8x96 RAM expansion. So I wonder what it is about with the "MMF9000" boxes that are "really just 8096s with extra RAM".
zimmers.net only has two SuperPET board versions:
- one with three boards, and
- one where everything is combined into a single board
Both IIRC have the same capabilities, including the unknown 6702 dongle (or whatever this IC is - it is not yet knonw)
Did you get any comments on the 6702?
André
