same time as the clicked key.)
Changing the size of memory or changing the ROM version forces a reset of the PET.
The emulator has an IEEE-488 device at address 8. It can be used load and save (.prg) files.

Game Notes
May include inaccurate AI generated content
SPOT is a computerized version of the board game Connect Four for two human players. There's no way to play against the PET, which is a missed opportunity for this program. The game of Connect Four has been solved, although there's no way a brute-force solution could fit in the PET's limited RAM. I'd be interested in knowing whether a moderately strong opponent could be programmed to fit in 3K of free RAM that SPOT has to work with.
