OpenCBM can be used with other drives than a 1541. However, cbmcopy and d64copy will not work. You have to use direct commands (via cbmctrl, that is). The manual has a section which tells how these commands can be used to control a printer. > I'm trying to figure out a way to edit the CMD HD on my Linux PC.

However, as you are restricted to the original IEC protocol - OpenCBM does not even support JiffyDOS - this might be cumbersome, as it is very slow. Of course, if you are willing to work on dedicated CMD support, you're welcome! ;) HTH, Spiro. -- Spiro R. Trikaliotis http://opencbm.sf.net/ http://www.trikaliotis.net/ http://www.viceteam.org/ |
