I am not 100 percent sure, cause it`s such a long time ago and i only had informatik one year back in the time, but when i look at the computer cases and the monitors with the blue green lettering then i am sure that it was Commodore PET computers. Funny thing was, nearly half of the school class had either a C-64 or a Atari-800 at home which had much better graphics at that time. But nevertheless, the PET`s are nice computers, especially for retro collectors and not cheap here in Germany when you want to buy one.

Ciao, hai provato a vedere se uno dei schemi disponibili qui:

http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/pet/8032/index.html

corrisponde al monitor dell’8296-D ? altrimenti potrei aprirlo e segnare i condensatori, ma devi avere pazienza.
