Comments
The 3008, the direct descendent of the 2001 (the German 3001 is in fact a
rebadged 2001 with a different keyboard), has the same board as the 4000
series PETs but amazingly carries BASIC 2.0 (2.3?) and is apparently the
identical dialect found in the VIC-20 and 64.
The 3008 didn't last long, rapidly pulled for the expanded 3016 and 3032 which had 16K and 32K RAM respectively.
