Description : Utilities for communicating with Commodore IEC serial bus devices
Taken from the blurb I just wrote as description for the main package
(the source package also produces lib, -dev and -source packages):
OpenCBM is a collection of utilities, a library and a kernel driver that
allows for communicating with and controlling devices via the Commodore
(CBM) IEC serial bus. This bus was used by such computers as the Commodore
VIC-20 and the Commodore 64 for connecting disk drives and printers through
a round 6-pin DIN connector.
.
This package provides a generic utility for controlling serial devices
(cbmctrl), as well as others to perform specific tasks such as formatting
a floppy or copying a file to/from a disk drive.
