I'm trying to restore an old CBM PET 2001-8 at home. I need expert advice.
I've gone through the clean-up and reseating the chips in their
sockets phase which fixed a bad connection on a BASIC ROM chip.
The screen display looks something like this:
*** COMMODORE BASIC ***YTES FREE
SIC ***YTES FREE
[]cursor
READY.
[]cursor READY
It's got me stumped, I have two cursors flashing!
Keyboard is inactive, cassette motor runs briefly on start-up.
I was suspecting a possible memory problem, but hoping it was
sonmething else. 6550 SRAMs have not been made for a long time!
Can anyone help with a possible diagnoses?
Regards
Peter
