This is version 0.4.99.104 of OpenCBM, a support package for retro devices that communicate with the serial CBM bus protocol, known from the C64, VIC-20, etc. Opencbm runs on Linux, Windows, FreeBSD and Mac OS X. OpenCBM 0.4.0 was a re-join of the two projects cbm4linux (latest standalone version: 0.3.2) and cbm4win (latest standalone version: 0.1.0a). It should be noted that both projects were highly related from the beginning, as cbm4win 0.1.0 was based on cbm4linux 0.3.2.
Opencbm should work with any devices that understand the "normal" talk and listen commands of the CBM IEC bus. It has been tested with several 1541, 1541-II, 1570, 1571 and 1581 drives, and a MPS-1200 printer. 1541 clones like the Oceanic OC-118 have also been reported to work.
The following cable types are supported:
