Question about .DMS files
« on: May 24, 2009, 05:53:02 PM »
Does anybody know how to open ".DMS" files.  I have the ICD AdIDE40 (Prima) for my Amiga 500 and I need to install the driver for it.  The file is a .DMS file and I have no idea what to do with it.  Do I place it in a directory?  Do I extract it?  I am clueless.  Thanks.

I found the program, but the instructions are horrific.  Does anybody know the command to write the .dms to floppy?  Thanks.

When you say "write path" is where the DMS file is, are you speaking of my two .dms files I want to extract, or the DMS file that was created when I ran dms111.run?

I put the dms111.run file on the root of my DH3: directory.
I then opened up shell and changed directory "cd dh3:"
from the DH3: directory, I type the following: dms111.run
I then type the following below:

dms write dh3:/ICD-AdIDE.dms

is that correct?

Thanks motorollin, that was the problem.  I was putting the "/" in there when I should have left it out.  It's copying now.  Thanks again.
