I believe it runs on an original 4K PET.  At least that's what I think I
was using for the demo (the attorneys wanted the most original setup
possible).  Since I only have one original PET I borrowed one from Larry
Anderson and we got it up and running on both.  I'm not sure now if both
or either were upgraded to 8K but I think it's safe to assume they are 4K.

Next time I see the tape (it's around here somewhere :) I'll try to make a
digital image of it.  Does anyone know if the cassette format on the PET
is compatible with something more modern like the C64?  That way it'd be
easier to transfer it to the C64, then from the C64 to a PC (by way of an
X1541 cable).
