Anyway, This is a rather rare version of the PET. Actually, it should say CBM professional computer on the front and should be referred to as a CBM. > it has a rather curious 34 way ribbon cable coming out of the side and the > machine came with a third party dual 5 1/4" disk drive using a 34 way IDC > connector - which made me think - could this machine possibly have a > Shugart interface inside?

This may have an interface connected to the expansion connector on the right side of the circuit board, or the interface may be in the drive unit. Normally, the only circuit board inside this machine, is the main system board. The only way to be sure is to open it and see what the cable is connected to. - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
