Commodore PET series in Terminator 3??

I've managed to track down a 8050 and a MSD SD-2 dual floppy drive for my PET and should be collecting them on Sunday.   Fingers crossed they'll work OK after all of these years...

I added a "PETdisk" to my 8032 a few months back.  It's a small board that draws power from the cassette port, plugs into the floppy port and emulates a giant floppy drive on a SD Card.  It is FAT formatted so the PRG files can be downloaded by your PC, copied to the SD Card and then reinserted into the board.  It can be configured as Unit 8-11 and has a passthrough for using real drives.

If you get your 4000 series up and running then look at getting one.  It comes pre-loaded with a ton of software.  The guy who makes it also produces a diagnostic ROM and a BASIC upgrade ROM.

Any idea what is wrong with it?  Do you get the "beep" on power-up or is it completely dead?

I had an MSD 2 years ago with my old C-64 setup. I sold it, but I believe it is still up and running. They are really strong machines!

This one might be yours.  

I like the way you can use it with the C64 and the PET as it has both connectors (but not at the same time apparently unless you want to fry it).
