Alternatively you could connect the PET disk drive to a PC (or other 
computer) with a GPIB/IEEE-488 interface. The command set for the 
Commodore drives is well-documented, it shouldn't be hard to write a 
program to read the file off the disk. I know somebody who saves/loads 
programes from his Tekky 4052 on a PET disk drive...

Of course 1541's are probably easier for most people to find than machine 
with GPIB ports...
