I have built the two common PET-to-Composite adapters, even with routed PCBs, but not yet published it. Working with my selfbuilt CS/A computer (PET compatible) and a German PAL TV with composite input. Can send at the weekend.

I have implemented a shared-RAM based keyboard interface, where one 6502 could emulate the keyboard of a PET or C64.
See http://www.6502.org/users/andre/csa/keyemu/index.html
Should give you some ideas.

You mean the chicklet keyboard, graphics and business keyboards?
Basically all the same, only different key mapping.
> interfaces, I'm all ears. Will every PET (model) have its own frequencies,
Could be. They do have different timings depending on PAL or NTSC, and depending on business and graphics model at least.
