Oddball Rebranded PET

Post by lbpd716 »

Greetings -

I have what appears to be a factory rebranded PET, unknown year labeled "Compu-Tech" educational computer.

Has anyone seen one of them before. System is fully functional, I am wondering how many were made, etc.

Pictures can be made available if interested or if there is anyone with knowledge of these machines it would be appreciated

Thanks in advance.

From the Vintage Computer forums:

Compu*tech was a fly-by-night organization out of Queens NY in the mid 80's. They rebranded machines from both Commodore and Apple WITH PERMISSION to put them into "special" schools... and when I say "special", I mean as in how some Olympics can be... "special". C*T DOS was just CBM DOS burned to a EPROM with the names edited. (Joy of joys when the "DOS" was in a ROM on the DRIVE -- good luck replacing that if you have to)

That's all I really know about them -- they used to have ads in the back of BYTE hitting people up for donations.

Now on to searching old issues of BYTE.

Still on the hunt for a "Teachers' Pet" though..
