On CBM targets, only two things need to be parsed:  "unit#" and "drive#".

If the first non-space character is a slash, then everything between that
slash and the next one is a device-number.  All text after that second
slash is sent to the drive's DOS.

If there is no colon in the string, then insert a "0:".  Start at the end;
scan backward until a slash or the beginning is seen, put "0:" there.

It is as easy to parse as any naming-style could be.
