Hi!
Serveral days ago, I saw again Terminator 3 on cable TV and at the end, when the couple are in the bunker and discorver is an old one, it's seems to be a Commodore pet series behind off the actors. It's possible?

[Matt_H]

Yeah, I remember seeing that.

I'll try post one screenshot as soon as possible.

I've managed to track down a 8050 and a MSD SD-2 dual floppy drive for my PET and should be collecting them on Sunday. Fingers crossed they'll work OK after all of these years...

Oh yeah!!

T3 & Commodore Pet series in the same movie. Simply perfect!

Maybe the central processor of the T1000 is a MOS 65XX family cpu, running at 1000 TeraHerz...

Thanks for the feedbacks

There is another shot with the PET 4xxx series machine more clearly visible and John Conner looking suitably impressed (even if he is looking the other way). I will see if I can do a VLC snap from the HD movie for you all.

I picked up a beautiful (but non-functional) PET 4000 series machine today. With the larger monitor they are truly beautiful machines. Mine has ZERO discolouration anywhere and only two hairline scratches on the black base. It looks brand new and the markings on the keys are still perfectly white. One owner from new...just like a barn find for a rare classic car haha

Awesome machine indeed

I added a "PETdisk" to my 8032 a few months back. It's a small board that draws power from the cassette port, plugs into the floppy port and emulates a giant floppy drive on a SD Card. It is FAT formatted so the PRG files can be downloaded by your PC, copied to the SD Card and then reinserted into the board. It can be configured as Unit 8-11 and has a passthrough for using real drives.

If you get your 4000 series up and running then look at getting one. It comes pre-loaded with a ton of software. The guy who makes it also produces a diagnostic ROM and a BASIC upgrade ROM.

Any idea what is wrong with it? Do you get the "beep" on power-up or is it completely dead?

T-1000 is Terminator 2, it's the T-X in Terminator 3.

The T-800 in the first Terminator movie has 6502 source code displayed in it's heads up display, however I doubt that is related to the CPU. It was a type in from a computer magazine, maybe he was searching archives?

Also in Terminator 2 they have the recovered CPU from the first film and it's more advanced than anything they've ever seen, which by the 90's would not be a 65XX family CPU.

I had an MSD 2 years ago with my old C-64 setup. I sold it, but I believe it is still up and running. They are really strong machines!

This one might be yours.

I like the way you can use it with the C64 and the PET as it has both connectors (but not at the same time apparently unless you want to fry it).

The 6502 is alive and well and powering robots in the year 3000.

Yes of course! Because Cyberdine Systems is really CMOS Tech. the C is for Cyberdine :-)

I also noticed the PET after watching the film on tv a couple of weeks ago, but wasn't sure 100% as I'm not a huge fan of pets.

[rrete]

It's a Pet series 100 % sure.
