Most likely it's this (http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/search.pl?product=overdrive+cd&company=archos) thingy. So, yes.

Yeah, DMS files are disk images, not LHA archives.  You can get programs from Aminet to deal with them (xDMS, for instance).

@2J4EZ:

Aye, that doesn't sound healthy - a quite ordinary application crashing, but you could always try writing it out with the original DMS (http://www.aminet.net/pub/aminet/util/arc/dms111.run).

hey, I have the same drive. it works a treat with a1200. the only problem is that it won't read multi session discs (you have to write disc-at-once)
