I did something like this. The problem came when loading the file into the C64.
I got a load error right at the end. Now I suppose this *could* be a flaky
cassette recorder, but I doubt it. [Does it matter which PET cassette port I
hook up the recorder to? I think I used the port on the right-hand side, not
the rear.]

Getting ROM part numbers should not be a problem; at least, I can note down all
part numbers from the various chips and post a list.

I created a .d64 format image file and put it on my web space a while ago. See
http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~markk/index.html (and take the C64/PET archive
link).
