This thing also.

Looks like an old CBM. I'd recommend restoring it and giving it a whirl if you're into that. Otherwise see if a local museum or vintage collector is willing to take it off your hands.

>>62327810
Dont believe them OP, its not worth anything, just forgett it

>>62327810
How much would one get for it?

>>62327810
>Looks like an old CBM.
There are new CBMs?

>>62327731
Plug it in to see if it works!

>>62327810
>>62327850
Is that safe?

>>62327731
You should ask on >>>/vr/ people here don't know shit about older hardware.

Very insightful tripcunt. What gave it away, the fucking badge?

You can't give these things away, they're only slightly less common than VIC20's or C64's.

>>62327854
Worst that will happen is one of the old tin can regulators in the PSU letting its smoke out, go for it.

>>62327768
>>62327810
what can you even do with it?

>>62327921
>Worst that will happen is one of the old tin can regulators in the PSU letting its smoke out, go for it.
I'll try. I'll get back.

>>62327921
How much?

Not much nowdays, I plan on converting my RTTY terminal into an "info terminal" by dumping screens to it from my home server that shows weather, my stocks, status of alarms around the house and some other days. You could use it as a standalone SSH terminal for shiggles, or for its actual intended purpose, CP/M, but short of gutting it and replacing it with modern hardware for dem sleeper vibes they're basically boat anchors. Too common to be worth anything, too old to be useful.

>>62327938
Do it fgt. Circled components are your biggest concern, they degrade as th years go by.

>>62327940
No idea, but last time I was looking, less than $200 for an inbox, with manuals unit.

I see them going for several hundred, the latter dual-floppy drives alone already are expensive, as they also work with C64, etc. Obviously a 4016 owner would be butthurt.

What are those buttons on the front case?

enjoy your burned out CRT and transistors

>CP/M
are you fucking retarded? CP/M was never meant to run on them and the CP/M expansion cards where extremely rare even back then

>but short of gutting it and replacing it with modern hardware for dem sleeper vibes they're basically boat anchors. Too common to be worth anything, too old to be useful.
that's ironic from someone to say when you are so wrong about the system in the first place

Ok. Seems to work, this came up and you can type.

>>62328056
Nice

>>62328026
As I say, last time I was looking (when I retired this unit 4 years ago) the prices weren't that high. OP might indeed make some coin if it's in good nick and has all its bits.

>>62328029
Reset system, ROM select (Hold down on POST to choose which of the two ROMs I have installed to boot from), and a button to trigger a reset of whichever device is on the IEEE-488 port. The additional keys on top expand the existing key matrix, allowing one to program one's own macros and such within the ROM image. This was handy for sending common RTTY commands as a single key instead of a sequence.

>>62328056
Neat. Got the cables for the drive?

Give it back 8bit guy

Welcome to /g/.
It's not as bad as thinking they run CP/M.

>>62327731
Give it to me

Install Gentoo, obviously.

>>62330574
Any guides?

Jokes aside, isnt there a linux clone that runs on PET/CBM machines?

>>62327731
Smash it and make a webm.

>>62328226
well this is an era of hardware where they cant be used for much more, pretty much up until the ps/2 computers you dont have many options for "modern" uses
not everything is a thinkpad

>>62330599
no, commodore made Commodore OS, which was a debiant based linux distro that wasnt anything special other than that it had a lot of commodore emulators already installed, but there arent any linux distros that can run on a 1mhz processor, 8-32kb ram and stick within 20kb rom

>>62333789
he means that it couldnt run cp/m retardo
pet/cbm computers ran commodore basic

>>62333840
No, none of that new shit, that isn't even actual Commodore, just someone who bought the name

It wasn't official Commodore, just someones hobby project

>>62333789
>pretty much up until the ps/2 computers you dont have many options for "modern" uses
fuck your shit
an XT can easily run a webserver
also Amigas, Macintoshes and UNIX workstations exist that where older then the PS/2 line and could do way more

also PETs don't run CP/M, there was a expansion card that did, but it was literary a Z80 computer on a card and the PET was acting as a terminal only

>>62333840
>commodore made Commodore OS
Commodore never did that. A shithead with the licence for the name did.

PETS are worth a fortune now. I threw mine out. Now I regret it.
