Commodore PET: Modern Storage

[@bitfixer6502]

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!

[@MattKasdorf]

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.

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

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 😁

Enjoyed this video, your editing and picture quality when focusing on the screen is excellent. Nice job

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.

I love this. I want one of these computers so bad. So much fun and thanks for all the great content over the years.

Did Coleco Adam computers ever make it to Australia?

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.

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

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

Is there not a possibility of rewiring the the mains transformer so that it will work with 240V rather than 120V.

[@derekfrost8991]

I had a Commodore 128 back in the day.. 🙂

[@SobieRobie]

Commodore PET is looking like white version of Lord Darth Vader ;)

[@DaveVelociraptor]

Happy new year!

[@dmmikerpg]

Space Invaders wanted you to wire up your own speaker.

[@Wormetti]

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?

[@svenpetersen1965]

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.

[@prk55]

I noticed sometimes the PET screen was bright and sometimes really dark. Is it faulty or was it camera issues?

[@MattKasdorf]

Camera, slightly out of sync with the monitor.

[@Mrshoujo]

Why use the entire word Directory when DIR would work anyway?

[@Retro_Royal]

My Pet 8032-SK is missing the keyboard, maybe one (unlikely) day... Still pretty to look at :)

[@MattKasdorf]

I believe there was a post on FB about someone who completely 3D printed their own SK keyboard.

[@UpLateGeek]

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.

[@MrLurchsThings]

I’ve ordered from him before. I’ve got a boxed, signed copy of Planet X3

[@hullster9970]

eeek, had these at school really didnt like them

[@georgysb]

What happened to you, Adrian??

[@VincentGroenewold]

He wears a shirt now? What do you mean

[@BilisNegra]

@@VincentGroenewold I'm also wondering, looks like trying to make some kind of joke, but I don't get it.
