I had a CBM II series machine for a few years, before I gave away most 
of my collection (keeping only some Vic-20, C64, C128). I think that it 
was a 720 a.k.a. B256.

I see that I implemented cbmlink support for the P500, B128 and B256, 
for both the built-in RS-232 interface and the C2N232.

Because the tape port is not supported in the firmware that I had, I did 
not implement any support in c2nload.

Somewhat unrelated topic: Is there is a virtual serial port that would 
allow cbmlink to work across the RS-232 interface on the CBM II and 264 
series machines? I am thinking how feasible it would be to implement a 
virtual C2N232 device.

Best regards,
