Commodore CBM 8296

This machine lies somewhere between the PET / CBM series of old and the CBM-II series .. the CBM 8296.  It is a beautiful looking machine, with soft rounded edges and a tilt /swivel monitor.  The keyboard detaches as well.

Internally, its a 6502 chip and 96K of RAM.  The RAM beyond 32K you can use banked, as on boot up it displays the EXACT same message as any other PET with 32K ...

I like this machine simply for the looks.  I have honestly never seen a better looking machine.
