For a couple of years from 1981 till about 1985 I was an Associate Editor of the SuperPET Gazette. This newsletter was edited by Dick Barnes in Hatteras , North Carolina.
I wrote a column called: Bits Bytes and Bugs. This delt with using 68-9 assembly language to write programs. Aslo as Associate Editoe I would review articles having to do with using the assembly language features of the SuperPET.
I have left an issue of the magazine from 1985. There are no archives of this magazine. However, once in a while a person will write in and post that some of the issues are available.
The most interesting feature of the computer was its several languages developed at the University of Waterloo. There was a switch at the side of the machine which changed it from 6502 mode to 6809 mode. Then the laanguage disk would be placed in the floppy drive and one would be able to load any of the languages for the computer. Also ther was an editor ysed for entering programs.
