First try might be the PET archives at:
http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/
After that I can offer you this:
http://www.goldrush.com/~foxnhare/petfaq.html
http://www.goldrush.com/~foxnhare/diskbasics.html
http://www.goldrush.com/~foxnhare/loadingbasics.html
Lastly check out the Commodore information on Jim Brain's Commodore site
(Caboom), which includes a PET www message SIG:

================================
Once you find software on-line - One of the real bummers is that the
8032 does not have an RS-232 port for easy communication (read: file
transfer via null-modem) nor is the 8050 drive compatible with any other
Commodore disk drive (like the 4040/2031 is compatible with the 1541
thus making it easy to get software to a 4040 by doing a null-modem to a
64 and writing with a 1541).
Though I am not saying it is impossible; the PET does have a parallel
user port which is VERY easy to program. With a bit of coding knowledge
a few parts and soldering you could whip up a PET-to-Whatever connector
and the appropriate software for transferring files.
