There is an interface for B-series machines to the CBM serial bus (supports
fast bus for 1571 & 1581 drives), but this is not compatible with the PET
series of computers.  I'll speak to its designers to find out what it would
require to adapt to the PET/8032- I don't think it would be too difficult to
do.  I don't know of any other interface to do what you want.
