  • 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.

    Fantastic! That PETdisk MAC looks very cool! 👏 I’ve been using the SD2PET for the past few years, super helpful!

    I love my SD2PET Future. It's a great solution for PET computers and it's always connected to my PET 2001-N computer.

    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! 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.

    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 😁

    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

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

      @@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...
