Commodore CBM serial IEC/IEEE-488 bus utilities

Commodore CBM serial IEC/IEEE-488 bus utilities

The OpenCBM package contains user space support programs and development libraries to control and use CBM serial IEC/IEEE-488 bus devices as used by most Commodore CBM 8-bit machines.

OpenCBM allows for access to Commodore seriel IEC bus devices such as CBM 1540, 1541, 1570, 1571 and 1581 floppy disk drives.

OpenCBM allows for access to Commodore parallel IEEE-488 bus devices such as CBM 2031, 2040, 3040, 4031, 4040, 8050, 8250, 8280 and SFD-1001 floppy disk drives.

The devices are connected via a custom USB adapter called xu1541 or xum1541. A fast .d64 disk copier/transfer program is included.
