- SuperPET/
- The SuperPET is a 8032 PET with one or two added boards that were designed
at the University of Waterloo. The computer has a built-in RS-232C
interface and many built-in programming languages. In Europe, this machine
was called the MicroMainFrame 9000, or MMF 9000.

- dsk2file.prg
- A BASIC/ML program to convert any CBM disk to a dump file (like VC1541 disk
to .d64) for a PET or C64.
The dump file should be written to a device larger than the dumped disk
(although the program can be tailored to split an image).

computers. It supports all known Commodore disk drives, of all capacities.
It also supports all CMD HD and RL Native partitions. Programmed by
Bo Zimmerman and André Fachat.

and may damage some newer models.

These programs run on PETs with Basic 2.0 and 4.0 with either 40 or

program "cbm4032v2.1 50 hz" to run the programs on the 8032.
