Using an older version of the Commodore VIC20 computer to fix a Commodore PET computer? Yes!! There are several chips that are used in both computers. Let's have a look at them. MOS 6522 VIA (Versatile Interface Adapter) - I\O control like keyboard and ports. The MOS Technology 6522 chip was used in the Commodore PET for peripheral I/O, The 6522 was used for interfacing with the keyboard, cassette tape, and other peripherals The 6522 was also used in the Commodore VIC-20 for peripheral I/O. The VIC-20 has two 6522 chips, one of which is used for the keyboard matrix and the other for joysticks, various ports, etc. 2114 - RAM The first version of the Commodore PET 2001-8 used MPS6540 ROM chips and MPS6550 RAM chips. Later versions substituted 2316B ROM chips in place of the 6540’s and/or 2114 RAMs in place of the 6550s MOS 6502 - CPU (Central Processing Unit) executed at 1Mhz * Can also get the 6502 and 6522s from a Commodore 1541 floppy drive * Here are PET assemblies that use the 2114 RAM chips for the video RAM. Dynamic PET Assembly #8032029 2114 is used for video RAM. Dynamic PET 80 Column that uses 2114 RAM for video RAM Assembly #8032030-01 80 Column Dynamic PET 32K, Assembly #8032030-02 80 Column Dynamic PET 16k, Assembly #8032030-03 80 Column Dynamic PET 16k, Assembly #8032030-04 80 Column Dynamic PET 16k, Assembly #8032030-05 80 Column Dynamic PET 16k, Assembly #8032030-06 80 Column Dynamic PET 16k, Assembly #8032087 Universal Dynamic PET that uses 2114 RAM for video RAM Assembly #8032090-01 8032-60Hz PET 32K, Assembly #8032090-02 8032-50Hz PET 32K, Assembly #8032090-03 4032-60Hz PET 32K, Assembly #8032090-04 4032-50Hz PET 32K, Assembly #8032090-05 4016-60Hz PET 16K, Assembly #8032090-06 4016-50Hz PET 16K, * 2114 static RAM is always used for video RAM on all PETs, except the first two boards from 1977 that used 6550. * 2K of video RAM (4 chips) for 80 column PETs and 1K (2 chips) for all others. * The 2001-N Dynamic PET could be reconfigured with jumpers for different types of DRAM chips and different amounts of DRAM.
