One thing I know for sure. 100%. Absolutely. No one will ever watch a YouTube video on a Commodore PET!
Correction ... 😳😮😶.
Someone did. In 30 friggin FPS. What?
Thorbjörn Jemander is the Swedish genius, who pulled off this magic trick. But to be honest, the whole thing requires a bit of homebuilt hardware (yeah DIY) on the one hand, and a bit of software for the networking and realtime Video2Ascii conversion on the other.
But the result is impressive. Just plug it into the expansion port of the PET, add a little potential difference for your friendly electrons, run a little program and off you go. The result is actually amazing and absolutely worth seeing.
Can't believe it? Then have a look here. Great work! 📺
