I was never a service tech, but here in Ohio, the _only_ static PETs I've
ever seen were 6550-based. I didn't know there were any with 2114s until
I joined this list. It explains another Tramiel story. When the VIC-20
was being designed, Jack told his engineers that he didn't care how much
memory the new computer used, but it had better take the 2114 chips that
C= had a warehouse full of.
