The CBM 3xxx and 4xxx series were revisions of the original PET 2001.\
|
||
The range was rebranded CBM (Commodore Business Machine), as PET was dropped.
|
||
|
||
The 3xxx series introduced the 3000 series ROM sets, BASIC v3, and a completely redesigned keyboard layout, which used a full typewriter keyboard instead of the "mickey mouse" keyboard of the PET, and dropped the on-board cassette unit.
