Hello. I am having trouble with chapter 3.4 of the users guide: Installing opencbm on Windows (cbm4win). I don't understand the part where it says,"Just download the binary package, and unpack it into an arbitrary directory." What is the binary package called, and how do I DL it? What does arbitrary mean? Then it says, "Get a command-line (Start/Run, and type cmd-exe)" How do I get a command-line (which key is Start/Run?) I can take it from there.

Ok, I see, I did not expect people to have problems here.
The binary package is linked from here:
http://spiro.trikaliotis.net/opencbm#download
At the moment, the link points to
www.trikaliotis.net/Download/opencbm-0.4.99.99/opencbm-0.4.99.99.zip
Note, however, that this link will change in the future, and it will be
linked to from the link above.
So, just download this file and unpack it anywhere you like. The only
restriction on the directory where you unpack it is that you must
remember its path, so you can "cd" to it later.

You are right, in this description, I assume you have a Window 7 system
or older.
For Windows 10, you have to press the "Windows" icon in the lower left
corner (or press the left Windows key on your keyboard). That's the
equivalent to the "Start" menu on Windows 7 and older.
On Windows 10, you do not need the "Run". Just type in the commands I
have given, that is, "cmd.exe" (without the quotation marks).
Thus, in short, do the following:
1. Press on the Windows icon in the lower left corner
2. Enter "cmd.exe" (without the quotation marks), and select the
entry that says "execute cmd.exe as administrator" (or similar, I
have the German text only, so I cannot tell you how it is written in
English)
Afterwards, you have to "cd" to the directory where you unpacked your
zip. For example, assume that you unpacked the zip into
"c:\users\me\HereIsOpenCBM". Then you have to enter "cd
c:\users\me\HereIsOpenCBM" in this step.
HTH.
Regards,
Spiro.

Hi Spiro,
Here's what I did: DL opencbm-0.4.99.99.zip to Documents folder, make dir [opencbm], move file to [opencbm]
Extract files to C:\users\marlo\Documents\Marlon's files\opencbm, cd exe (no such dir), cd opencbm-0.4.99.99\opencbm-0.4.99.99, cd amd64 (or cd i386), cd exe (no such dir)
I'm using Windows 10. I didn't have the ZoomFloppy or any cables connected when I ran these commands, so that could be the problem. Please tell me in what order to connect the cables. Thank you.
Marlon S.

You are right, the instructions in 3.4 are outdated.
A quick fix:
- Just download the binary package, and unpack it into an arbitrary directory.
- Get a command-line (Start/Run, and type "cmd.exe"), change into the directory you unpackaged the drivers into (with "cd").
- Type "cd amd64" (or "cd i386" if you are running a 32 bit Windows variant) (was: Type "cd exe")
- The next step depends upon the cable type you are using.
. If you are using an XUM1541 cable (a.k.a. ZoomFloppy), type "instcbm xum1541"
. If you are using an XU1541 cable, type "instcbm xu1541"
. If you are using an XA1541 or XM1541 cable, type "instcbm xa1541"
That is the target of the "cd" was not updated when the install.cmd file was
written. I am sorry for this. All other instructions should be correct,
though.
Regards,
Spiro.
