Thanks for all the good info.  I have a NIB board-set (from a C=
dealer that went out of business some time back) to turn an 8032 into
a SuperPET, but have yet to get around to doing it.

Has anyone ever figured out what the "dongle" does?  Is it just some
form of electronic serial number?  Does it "do" anything useful (i.e.
some sort of character or binary translation) which might make it more
difficult to remove from existing code that depends on it?  Has anyone
even gone through the existing code to see what accesses that memory
space?

I ask because without checking my boxes, I'm not sure if I have one.
I do have the 64K memory board and I do have the board with the 6809
on it., but I'd have to look to see if I have the plug-in 6702 board.

Thanks,
