Commodore Midwest Regional Staff Newsletter Archives
Recently I received a stack of old newsletters from the Commodore Midwest Regional Staff. These were sent to the service technicians. Make your CBM 8032 think it's a VIC 20
If you have a Commodore PET 8032 and you want to make it think that it's a VIC 20 try this:

poke41,16:poke4096,0:new [enter]

...You'll get a syntax error, but you can ignore it. Try loading a BASIC program meant for a VIC 20. It should work as long as the program has not pokes or sys calls.
