Dear Maintainer,

The Debian Vice package does not support real drives via OpenCBM. It is enabled
in the rules file, but it is not available, until the Vice is built against the
OpenCBM development library. There are no official Debian Packages for opencbm,
but I built my own. I can confirm, when rebuilding Vice with the OpenCBM lib
installed, the real drives work as expected.
OpenCBM can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/opencbm

Regards
Thomas

Hello,

I am Spiro, the current upstream OpenCBM main developer and a former
VICE developer.

Please use the newest OpenCBM project homepage on GitHub:

The one on SF is outdated. I am working on keeping both git repositories
in sync, but the github one is the one where development takes place (if
any).

While it might not be a good place to mention it here on the Debian BTS,
I already created DEB packages which can be downloaded on
https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Astrik&package=opencbm
(Devel homepage: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:strik/opencbm)

I tried the best I could do, but I expect it will not comply to the
Debian policies. However, if someone wants to create an official
package, this might be a starting point.

Regards,
Spiro.
