How do you extract a PC .dms file image
« on: August 28, 2004, 10:03:30 PM »
I have another question. I downloaded the PCJanus disk to use with my 286 BridgeBoard.
How do you extract it ? I am using wb3.1 so I have crossdos up and running, when I try
to extract the file I get the following message from DMS

File pcjanus2.1.dms is a msdos disk DMS file.
In order to unpack correctly, you must:
1. use the 'PC'option
2. Mount PCx: (if needed to)

Fatal Error

I have pc0: mounted, and I used this command to extract.

dms write pcjanus2.1.dms to pc0: pc

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I tried the pc in both lower and upper case.
Any help, or where I can find a version of DMS that will work on a PC would be
greatly appreciated.

Are you sure the DMS file needs to be unpacked to a PC disk, and not to an Amiga floppy instead?


When I tried to extract it it gave me the above error message, so I tried to use the PC option of dms but no luck.

Where have you found the install disk, and which board is it exactly?


I got the file here, the board is a Commodore A2286 bridge board.

Well, I figured it out. The proper syntax was

dms write pc

I was trying to write it to PC0:, you just hace to use the PC option.

I unpacked it to a 3.5" disk, now I have to figure out how to use the utilities
on the disk.
