XUM1541 - connect Commodore disk drive to PC
XUM1541 allows you to connect Commodore disk drives (i.e. 1541) to PC and read/write to disks.
This board is a 4th revision of my PCB design. It is compact and DIY friendly (only through hole components are required).
Instructions for Windows
Flashing XUM1541
- Download and unpack avrdude: https://github.com/mariusgreuel/avrdude/releases/
- Download latest firmware from OpenCBM repository for PROMICRO 7406 version: https://github.com/OpenCBM/OpenCBM/tree/master/xum1541 at the time this instruction is written: https://github.com/OpenCBM/OpenCBM/blob/master/xum1541/xum1541-PROMICRO_7406-v08.hex
- Copy firmware file to avrdude directory
- Open device manager. Connect XUM1541 to PC and press RESET button on XUM1541 board. A device in LPT & COM ports section will show up for few seconds. Note down what exact port number it was, i.e. COM5.
- Navigate to avrdude directory in Command Prompt, type in command but don't run it yet: avrdude -p m32u4 -c avr109 -P com5 -U flash:w:xum1541-PROMICRO_7406-v08.hex
- Make sure to replace com5 in above command to the port from step 4. Reset XUM1541 and run the command. XUM1541 will be flashed.
Installing software (Windows 7-10 64bit)
Download the installer from: https://github.com/r1me/TapeXUM/releases/download/1.0/xum-installer-x64.zip
This single button installer will detect XUM1541, install required OpenCBM libraries and CBMXfer software.
