The easiest way would be to run the Pet Emulator program which was available
from Commodore (I think) a few years back.  Not only did it change the video 
map so that video pokes would work, but it converted sound pokes as well.  Also
built in was a DOS wedge.  As I recall, even Space Invaders for the Pet worked,
with full sound.
