Commodore 2001-8 User Manual page 8

It should be noted that there are
other"'EY~~enCEt;'1Ji:"teri~lwritten
aRput BASIC, with different tYPlilS
of usage in mind, which are available to the public. We have included a list of such suggested reading in
the appendix. Some of these manuals may be more' useful to satisfy aspecffic need which is not covered
in this particular manual.
The ultimate teaching device for learning how the PET works is the PET itself. In some cases, we will
ask you to use the PET along with the text, rather than Just continuously reading what to do. In any
case, this documentation is sufficient to allow you to get started on an example. By constructing similar
examples of your own, any questions which might arise are answered by the machine itself. Of course,
we invite comments on this material and particularly on examples which you as an individual have used
to resolve any unclear statement.
Lastly, since this manual cannot presume to provide all technical information of hardware or
programming aspects of the MCS 6502 microprocessor, we direct you to two other Commodore
publications: There is a manual available from your dealer called Hardware Manual which also includes
descriptions of the auxilliary devices which generate the control signals necessary to allow the PET to
operate. Detailed specifications of the computer and the language in which it operates are available in a
book called Programming Manual. This is available for purchase from your PET dealer or either can be
purchased from Commodore directly.
