Scored this PET a few weeks ago. Getting the once over for caps etc. pretty keen to have this running. Never thought I’d own one.

Nice! Never seen anything like this before. What do you plan to do with it once up and running?

Yeah it’s an PET 8096 which was inspired by Porsche apparently. It is up and running. 5 or the 8 ram chips were toast and they have been replaced. Waiting on keyboard logic chip and refocus screen and good to go. Might connect up a modem and play retro war games 😉

Ooh, nice find! (Although I will admit to preferring the old angular PET design aesthetic. I would appreciate the detachable keyboard, though.)

Is it compatible with the 8096? If so, CP/M-65 should run on it. With twin 1MB drives it's got a lot of storage...

Funny thing I’m not a fan of the old design.

There is an 8096D with twin drives so probably. 👍
