Last week, the #DoiOS conference took place in the Nemo Science Museum. During the breaks, attendees were free to explore the museum.
There was only one cabinet dedicated to tech and I saw this PET 8032SK there, a model I did not recognize.
Launched in 1980, 3 years after the original PET but 2 years before the #C64, it’s the first #Commodore with a separate keyboard (hence SK reference). It uses as 6502 processor, from the same family as the 6510 in the C64.

Just a week ago, I was on stage at #DoiOS 2025 presenting on the cryptography building blocks I believe all developers should know about.
Presenting was really fun but I also had a blast attending this 2-day gathering of a lovely community.
Thanks again to @appforce1 @axel @dimsumthinking and all the others who helped make this happen.
Thank you guys, for organising Do iOS 2025!
Jeroen Leenarts, Daniel Steinberg, Marco Miltenburg, Axel Roest, Bart Hoffman, the person that manned the camera, and anyone else who was invisible to me but helped making the conference a success!
Thanks to all the speakers! Thanks to the sponsors!
And special thanks to Joannis Orlandos and Espressif for being so kind to provide me with an ESP32-C6 development kit and necessities!
There were some amazing visitors there too. It was great! Let’s do it again next year!
Do iOS is already over, and I had such a good time there. Meeting new folks, and catching up with already known people. I really enjoyed talking there.
Thank you so much for having me on stage, and big up to @appforce1 and the organizing team for putting the conference together!
I’d like to take the occasion to quote Buzz Aldrin…
“Remember, your mind is like a parachute: If it isn't open, it doesn't work. So keep an open mind! Regardless of how you believe the universe was created, it is there waiting for humans to explore. But failure is not a sign of weakness.”
