Dumb question… how do I ‘launch’ OpenCBM from a new Terminal window (after restarting my computer)?

My Terminal window looks like this:

Fixed it Just had to re-install opencbm from the GIT. Nate helped out in a great way over there at the Google usergroup. Thanks for your works, it’s very appreciated!

Hi Chris,

thanks for the great docs =) I ran into an similar error like the one Paul reported – just vice versa

% cbmctrl status 8
xum1541 firmware version too high (7 > 6)
please update your OpenCBM plugin

I had no luck in finding a newer version of the plugin. Any hints what to do now?

Unbelievable — this is the only useful openCBM/zoomFloppy tutorial on the entire internet. And for OSX, no less. Thanks for taking the time.

Hi Paul,

yes the error messages tells you that the openCBM binaries require a newer firmware.
Just download and build Nate’s firmware upgrade tool from his page: xum1541.
I’ll update the page to mention this procedure…

I just got a ZoomFloppy and installed the software listed here. After a few tries, I got it compiled. (might be easier to provide binaries!!)

Anyway, now I’m getting an error about firmware too low.

% cbmctrl status 8
xum1541 firmware version too low (6 < 7)
please update your xum1541 firmware

Does the ZoomFloppy need to be updated?

So sorry to bother you again. Couldn’t get the FD-2000 to work correctly but work around it just by transferring files to 1541 disc and then to d64 images and then using fcopy+ program from CMD to copy files to d71 or d81 images. The only problem is that the REL files I have , fcopy+ won’t copy. Any reason why you think I am having this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did get zoomfloppy configured to work with a 1571 finally. Will it work with a CMD FD-2000 drive? I seem to be having some problems with that so far.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me with this.

I just got my ZoomFloppy and followed the instructions to install Opencbm and configure the ZoomFloppy for my Mac and everything seems to work fine except for when I type >sudo pico /opt/local/etc/opencbm.conf

I get

default=xu1541

not

default=xum1541.

And then when I go and see if my drive is detected I get “ERROR: No xu1541 device found”. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks so much, Jeff
