  1. Hm, running #opencbm on #linuxmint is a bit more difficult than expected. I installed OpenCBM via brew, as there are no debian packages for it, it seems. This worked fine under macOS, but on Mint it seems that even though I am in plugdev, the XUM1541 ZoomFloppy is not accessible as a regular user. What magic do I have to do here? Some udev rules?

  6. Today I tried to build and install OpenCBM on my laptop running Linux Mint 21.3 (Virginia) by using this guide for version 0.4.99.104 from 2022:
    opencbm.trikaliotis.net/opencb

    It turned out that the link to the tarball was outdated and some prerequisites were missing. I'm not much of a Linux geek, but if you're using Mint and just want it to work, my steps might help you.

    1. I installed these applications using the Software Manager:
    Build-essential
    cc65

    2. I installed these debian packages using the Synaptic Package Manager:
    libusb-1.0-0-dev
    libncurses-dev

    3. The source code tarball can now be downloaded here:
    github.com/OpenCBM/OpenCBM/arc

    The next steps in the manual worked without any problems for me and I was able to successfully connect my drive (1541-II) with the laptop using a XUM1541 adapter.

  19. Kleines Update für das XoomFloppy Pro

  23. XoomFloppy Pro – Darf es etwas mehr sein?

    Das XoomFloppy ist schon ein geniales Gerät. Aber manchmal braucht man ein bisschen mehr an Anschlüssen. Nun könnte man das XoomFloppy umständlich erweitern, oder wie in diesem Fall eine “Pro”-Variante kreieren. Das Maximum bei einem Minimum an Platz war mein Ziel.

  25. @dawnraad There are dozens of solutions. If you really want to still use physical #floppy disks, a 1541 can be hooked up to a PC, nowadays typically using some USB adapter (there are several available), but if you have an old PC that still has a parallel port, a quite simple cable with just a few resistors and diodes would do as well (there are manuals to build one). For software, I'd recommend #OpenCBM with that.

    Most people nowadays prefer to emulate the floppy instead. The "cheap" solution is called #SD2IEC ... working somewhat well, but failing with software trying to directly program the 1541 (like custom fastloaders as used in many games and demos). A very comfortable solution would be the 1541-Ultimate-II+, which offers perfect 1541 emulation plus several other goodies like ethernet (push your software with FTP, launch it remotely using telnet) 😎
