I've created a blog post for my Commodore PET Cassette to TAP project. As I make updates to that, I'll be posting links to the updates on this thread. So if you'd like, bookmark this thread. I'll also include the hashtag: #CPETCassetteRestoration if you'd rather follow a hashtag.

So, I'm not sure who knows, but I'm the lucky person to have been gifted @AdrianRiskin 's Commodore PET 2001 with the chicklet keyboard.

He even included a cassette (pictured) which states it holds Microchess 2.0 by Peter Jennings.

Now, Adrian said it held his own programs and asked if I could retrieve them if/when I got the computer working.

First off, I thought this was a really cool inclusion! I was not expecting a cassette from 1978...and Commodore branded at that. Seeing as it has, or had, published software I can understand it. Without my glasses, I thought Commodore had just provided a blank cassette with the system. 😂

Second, rather than waiting for the working computer (and cassette deck), I'm going to see if I can play the cassette in a modern cassette player (ha! modern, well a sort of) and record it on my workstation as a WAV.

So my question to the community is: 1) How might one play a WAV flle into the VICE emulator, or 2) does anyone have a lead on a WAV to PRG conversion tool? (That would be a cool utility to have!)

Here's a collection of films that include Apple Powerbooks. The "Don's Analyst" has a 5300 and "Hitman's Run" has a 520c (and an incidental Commodore PET 2001 keyboard in a prop that has appeared in a number of places). Finally, "The Omega Code" and "Town & Country" both have Powerbook G3s.

The first part of the things i got isn't so super, but nice to gave.
A spare part, a keyboard for the #Commodore #pet2001 ....

But that is just the first part i like to show ... ;)

Now, my #MEGA65 is not only a MEGA65 and #Commodore #C65 prototype, but it also has become a #C64, as well as all #CBM / #PET models, like the #PET2001 and the other models, both normal and business types.

There are other cores too, such as a ZX Spectrum, Game Boy, Galaga, Bombjack, Ghosts'n Goblins, etc.

There also seem to be more in some form of development stage.

There is are Commodore 64 in an episode of "Grange Hill" and the "Wandavision" episode "On a Very Special Episode...." There's an Commodore Amiga 1000 in "Les visiteurs" and an Commodore Amiga 500 in "Robot Ninja". The "Pennyworth" episode "Many Clouds" has a PET 2001 and an Amstrad PCW 8256, and the "Halo" episode "Reach" has a 64C, a CBM-II and an Apple eMac.
