If I'm not mistaken ;-), the 8296 does not support the IEC serial bus.
Thus, a 1541 is out of question.
Anyway, the 1541 is just a 2031 where the IEC parallel bus has been
replaced by an IEC serial bus. The 2031 and the 1541 share the same disk
format. BTW: The 4040 shares the disk format, too.
Thus, another option would be to connect a 1541 to your PC, transfer the
data to it using some of the available tools (like Star Commander,
cbm4linux, cbm4win), put the floppy into a 2031 or 4040 drive, and read
it from there into the PET.
Yes, I know, this is not the best setup, but it should work.
HTH,
Spiro.
