A.  Run the file "install.bat" by double-clicking on it 
 
This installs the OpenCBM package in C:\opencbm\bin and the Windows system dir. If you want 
to install to a different dir, edit the install.bat file to change this path. You can run this script 
multiple times without uninstalling first. To uninstall, just run 
"instcbm --remove". 
 
To use the OpenCBM utilities, you can install a separate GUI such as GUI4OPENCBM or 
CBMXfer (see below for links to these). The command line utilities can be used directly from 
the shell by adding C:\opencbm\bin to your PATH environment variable. 
 
B.  Plug in the ZoomFloppy via USB and install the Windows driver 
 
Once you plug in the ZoomFloppy, you'll see a standard device driver installation prompt. We'll 
be installing a driver extracted from this zip file, located under the "windrv" folder. You do not 
need to reboot after installing the drivers. 
 
After plugging in the ZoomFloppy, you’ll see the following dialog. (This example uses Windows 
XP, other versions vary but the basic steps are the same). 
 

 

 
 

1.  Select "No, not this time" when prompted by the New Hardware Wizard
