Hello
I have a 3016 PET with both banks fully populated with 4108 DRAMs. I want to upgrade it to 32k using 4116 DRAMs.
I think it's possible but I'd have to alter the 12 pin "DIP SHUNT" device (which looks like a 6 way dip switch but is in fact a group of jumpers with some connections broken and some made. I have currently got !A B !C D E !F (where ! means boolean NOT or open link) and this is consistent with the schematic here for a 16k PET:

Possibly, then, and according to the schematic, I could swap the 8kbit DRAMS for 16kbit and alter the shunt accordingly, but I would need to find out for sure. It looks like I need !A !B C D !E !F set to do this.
Anyone know?
