 The older models had a built-in cassette, the newer models took a cassette
tape to record your programs. Keying in programs from mags. was part of
the fun. It had MSBasic and IIRC an IEEE4388 interface.
 I would think that most of the VIC-20 programs would work on it, taking
into account memory limitations. I think PetBasic and Commodore Basic
were virtually the same. There were several FDDs available for it later.
the 4040, 8050,8250 ( these last 2 were dual disk-drives) and the 2031LPFD
(low profile drive) which I have ,pending the arrival of a PET to replace the
one I gave away many moons ago. Contact me by e-mail re a PET BASIC book
which, since we're virtual neighbours, I'll lend you, and I have an extra
VIC-20 Programmers Manual which I'm sure we can arrange a trade for.
