I was referring to both. Our goal would be to allow equipment which
had been used by the PET to be used on a 488 bus equipped Amiga. If
what you're saying is true (that the 488 port on the PET was quite
different from the 488 spec) then perhaps this is an unattainable
goal?

As for the software, we really have no idea how things worked on
the PET. I personally saw one once in a closet while in Graduate
School. But that's about the extent of our experience with CBM
machines prior to Amiga (our background was UNIX systems).

Anyhelp at all would be most appreciated. The book references
will be acted on right away. 

Thank You!
