There are some known bugs in opencbm:
- cbmcopy is still known to have some protocol races, especially with
1581 drives; thus, it does not always work reliably.
- cbmctrl detect as well as cbmcopy and d64copy do not
recognize the drive type if some custom ROM is used.
- Windows: If you have any other devices connected to your parallel port,
you cannot use them as long as cbm4win is installed. In this case, either
remove opencbm whenever you want to access that other device, or install
opencbm with instcbm --lock=no and make sure to issue cbmctrl lock
before accessing the drive, and cbmctrl unlock afterwards.
- Windows: No third party PCI parallel port card does work with
opencbm on Windows currently; to say it with other words: there
is no proof or positive report that any third party PCI
parallel port card does or did work with opencbm on Windows. The exact
failure reason is not known to date, but we are investigating
further since that feature is a must, when integrated parallel
ports were removed from mainstream mainboards in the future.
