Whoever takes these, would it be possible to scan them in (I personally use
a real 1541 and a parallel port cable and one of many dump utils - it varies
based on the cable you have and your OS), and make the contents available?
I don't have a PET with me, but I've been using VICE for years. I even just
helped one of the developers track down a T64 bug with xpet the other week
(they made a change to x64 at v1.10 that should _not_ have been made to xpet
owing to differences in how they code program files on real tapes).
I'm always on the lookout for old PET stuff...
Thanks,
