   Oh, never mind -- I found the manual at   
   .  Turns out you need an   
   8050 or 4040 dual disk drive with the compiler in drive 0 and the   
   program to be compiled in drive 1.   
      
   Unfortunately, I still can't get it to work -- no matter what PET and   
   dual disk drive model I try, I get a CPU jam during the first pass of   
   the compilation.  Looks like people have reported something similar   
   happening with the C64 version of Petspeed:   
   https://www.forum64.de/index.php?thread/103911-de-compiler-v-3-0/   
      
   According to the manual, the compiler uses a hardware dongle (plugged   
   into the first cassette port) for copy protection.  It could be that   
   this is the source of my problem.  (I'm running the compiler in the VICE   
   emulator, which obviously doesn't have access to the dongle.)   
      
   Regards,   
   Tristan
