I haven't tested it, but it looks ok. Two things:

  * Using a string literal will append an additional (and invisible) zero byte
    to the string. I would suggest using


        const char cmWr[] = { 'm', '-', 'w', 6, 0, 2, 0x18, 0 };
        ...
        cbm_write (15, cmWr, sizeof (cmWr));

    which for one doesn't append the zero terminator, and second it will
    allow you to use sizeof() to determine the length.

  * Character translation may be a problem. Does the floppy need "m-w" or
    "M-W"? Above string is translated to $4D,$2D,$57,...
