I just noticed the September 2015 issue of Nuts Volts has, right on
its cover, a project to outfit a Commodore PET with color (digital
RGBI) output. It requires a PET with the Universal Dynamic PET
motherboard, the one that could be switched between 40 and 80 columns

Archive.org was supposed to host these, so the archival is good w/o gmane.
However in googleing and verifying about that, I ran across something
called archive-org.com which is hosted by a private registration of
some sort, so I don't know if it has a damn thing to do with archive.org
or not.

Also, we have RT-11 running on it. And for fun, we wanted to run the
