I don't think that this would make much sense. You'd need to type in
a driver (perhaps program one yourself) that allows the PET to speak
the serial bus protocol. There are some projects that make a PC
emulate IEEE-488 peripherals, see below.

Convert the program file to a high-level Commodore tape image with cbmconvert
and then the high-level tape image to low-level tape image (*.tap) or
PCM audio (*.wav) with c2n. I've tried this when I developed the c2n
program, although the main use of c2n is to be an interface for the tape
functions of the C2N232.
Please read http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/crossplatform/transfer/transfer.html or

for a complete list of options. Feel free to correct me if I have missed
anything.
