   In a summer job a couple of years ago, I had to modify some
programs on a machine labelled "SuperPET".  It had a switch on
the side which allowed you to switch between a 6502 running
BASIC and a 6809 running a varity of things which had to be 
loaded off of disk.  The floppy disk stored 512K on a 5.25
inch floppy drive using double density disks!
