Title: Is this DMS corrupt?
Post by: blakespot on July 30, 2009, 10:33:24 PM

I am trying to load drivers for my Starboard 2 on the A1000.  Here's the disk:

http://amiga.resource.cx/install/8Up_StarBoard2.dms

I run it thru xDMS which turns it into an .ADF.  But then ADF2DISK tells me it's not of the proper length, and won't write it out to floppy.  Is this an issue with the utils I'm using or this DMS file?  Can someone have a look?

Thanks!

The file works correctly in WinUAE and can be written to disk with DMS 1.11 without any problems. I wonder why you use two programs from third-party programmers while it would be obvious to use the program which probaby created the file and can restore it in one step.

The version that ZeBeeDee pointed to worked fine, thanks.

@blakespot

Well that was a pointless exercise.  The file is most definitely not corrupt.  Not sure what your problem is but it works fine here.
