- We're back to one of my favourite machines - the Commodore PET.
It's now time to look at some modern storage options.

Thanks for checking out the PETdisk MAX! Please let me know if you have any feature requests, I try to keep fixing bugs and adding functionality as time allows. Love the case design. Don't know if you had much chance to try out the wifi feature - you can connect to wifi with the PETdisk MAX if you like and use a standard web server as a remote drive for your PET. Fun thing to play with.
You mean he missed the WiFi built in. He must have needed a coffee that day.
I love my SD2PET Future. It's a great solution for PET computers and it's always connected to my PET 2001-N computer.
Fantastic! That PETdisk MAC looks very cool! 👏 I’ve been using the SD2PET for the past few years, super helpful!
I have both the SD2PET and the PETdisk Max. I prefer the PETdisk Max - for all the reasons mentioned: price, size, pass-thru, no wedge required ... and WiFi access.
I've a tapuino on my chiclet 2001, the SD2PET on my 2001, and a PETdisk Max on my fat 4032.
Great video as always and so good to have you back! You've inspired me to finally get my own PET sorted - I have a tube ready for a tube swap but some bugger's nicked one of my shift keys! I'll have to track one down 😁
Great video! The Pet 2001 was the first computer I was able to play within school. Everyone else was scared of the darn thing, and I pretty much had it to myself in the math room. One day I'll either find a reasonably priced Pet, likely with a winning lottery ticket, or more likely pony up for a Pet Mini.
Enjoyed this video, your editing and picture quality when focusing on the screen is excellent. Nice job
Space Invaders wanted you to wire up your own speaker.
I love this. I want one of these computers so bad. So much fun and thanks for all the great content over the years.
I had a Commodore 128 back in the day.. 🙂
Nice! I have the SD2PET, and love it! I also bought the "Stupid Pet Tricks" device which has real joystick ports and a WiFi modem, but I have not even hooked it up yet.
Happy new year!
Commodore PET is looking like white version of Lord Darth Vader ;)
Did Coleco Adam computers ever make it to Australia?
I really like the SD2PET. I have two of them. One for each PET. AFAIK, it is going out of production, which is a pity.
I've reached out to him before but sadly David Murray doesn't ship physical games to Australia. At least not to us mere mortals; you might have better luck, being an active person in the retro computer community. But you can always just buy the digital download version.
I’ve ordered from him before. I’ve got a boxed, signed copy of Planet X3
Hi, A great rundown on the options
Re the power, could you not tap 5v of the power supply or the mother board and run a single wire to a common barrel connectors or something similar on the back of the machine, then just use a small cable externally to the device - has to be better than popping the bonnet and connect up every time??
Is there a sound import option via say mobile phone and headset jack- i may be thinking of apple 2 series of machines
Regards
George
Is there not a possibility of rewiring the the mains transformer so that it will work with 240V rather than 120V.
Cool solutions. I know typing the commands is part of the experience but could you add a menu to these so the user doesn't have to remember commands?
My Pet 8032-SK is missing the keyboard, maybe one (unlikely) day... Still pretty to look at :)
I believe there was a post on FB about someone who completely 3D printed their own SK keyboard.
I noticed sometimes the PET screen was bright and sometimes really dark. Is it faulty or was it camera issues?
Camera, slightly out of sync with the monitor.
Why use the entire word Directory when DIR would work anyway?
eeek, had these at school really didnt like them
Don’t get me wrong, I love to restore and play on retro consoles, but what you see in these old computers is a mystery to me 🤔
Odd comment, I mean, simply programming on it for the fun of it is already a thing, including playing an old game or 2.
@@VincentGroenewold Yes, I admit programming would be very enjoyable, but games…..mmmmmm 😏
@@venenareligioest410 This machine not being capable of displaying proper graphics makes it not for everyone in the gaming department, in principle at least. However, Petscii robots changes that, and maybe there's some other modern homebrew game that does so too? Don't know, but maybe...
What happened to you, Adrian??
He wears a shirt now? What do you mean
@@VincentGroenewold I'm also wondering, looks like trying to make some kind of joke, but I don't get it.
