The PET-Shack service bundle is a 37-page compilation of Commodore PET 2001 service material assembled and sold by P.S. Software House / Marketing and Research Co. ("PET-SHACK"), P.O. Box 966, Mishawaka, Indiana, over the signature of its president Larry R. Shallenberger.

It is not a Commodore document. It is a third-party bundle, and what makes it worth having is that it collects things Commodore's own PET 2001 documentation does not: an errata sheet against the published schematics, and the data sheets for the chips the machine is built from.

The scan carries no text layer.

What is in the bundle

What this bundle settles

[edit | edit source]
  • The PET's IEEE-488 bus transceivers are MC3446s, and the bundle carries the full Motorola data sheet for them โ€” the device most likely to be damaged by hot-plugging a disk drive, and the one Commodore's parts list names without describing.
  • The cassette deck has its own circuit, with values, which the Commodore PET 2001 documentation on this wiki does not cover.
  • A 0.0047 ยตF 1 kV capacitor exists in the machine. Any PET capacitor list that gives every part a low voltage rating is missing this one.
  • TIP29 and TIP30 are the supply pass transistors โ€” a complementary pair, easy to fit the wrong way round.

What this bundle does not contain

[edit | edit source]
  • It is not authoritative for Commodore part numbers or values. Where it disagrees with Commodore's own parts lists and schematics, those are the primary source and this is a secondary one. The errata sheet is one collector's corrections, not a Commodore ECO.
  • No complete board parts list and no board layout.
  • No text layer, so nothing in it is searchable.
  • The data sheets are generic manufacturer documents, not PET-specific.
