Installed the OpenCBM driver for it today to work its parallel port with my XA1541 adapter. I don’t know (yet) if it makes a difference, but I did alter the port’s mode to EPP from ECP in the bios.

$ git clone git://opencbm.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/opencbm/opencbm
$ cd opencbm/opencbm
$ make -f LINUX/Makefile
$ make -f LINUX/Makefile install-all
$ sudo vim /etc/opencbm.conf
… changed default plugin to xa1541

$ sudo modprobe cbm
$ dmesg | tail
$ cbmctrl status 8

… inserted a floppy,
$ cbmctrl dir 8

Voila! The diskette directory displayed.
