INTRODUCTION Getting Started About the Vulcan What's Included with the Vulcan On the Vulcan The Vulcan comes preformatted and set into ProDOS partitions.
Also the ProDOS 8 version provided on the Vulcan and the floppy disks has been patched to allow ProDOS 8 to use four ProDOS partitions from the Vulcan instead of only two. The Separate Disks The 3.5” disk is a backup of the files necessary to boot GS/OS.
CHAPTER ONE IIGS Installation Installation Procedure You’ll need no special tools to install the Vulcan. Simply follow the instructions below. 1) Open Computer Press in the two latches at the rear of the case with your forefingers while using your thumbs to push the lid up and towards you.
Unplug Internal Cord iv) Gently pull back on tab at bottom front of power supply. A small flatblade screwdriver may keep you from breaking a nail. Pull Back Tab v) Lift out power supply. You may want to store the power supply in the Vulcan’s box. 3) Remove Vulcan from Packing.
5) Insert Vulcan i) Insert bock end first. Align the three holes in the back of the Vulcan with the three prongs in the back of the computer. ii) Snap down Into front tab. Push down on the front of the Vulcan until the plastic tab on the computer case snaps into the hole at the bottom front of the Vulcan.
7) Set Switches According to Slot The Controller Card will work from any slot. However, there are a few conditions of which you need to be aware. Do not install the card into the Memory Expansion slot. We recommend installing the controller card into slot 6 or 7.
1) Locate the switch block on the controller card. 2) If a piece of tape is covering the switches, remove it. 3) Set the switches in the position shown below.
10) ReInstall Any Cards Removed Replace any cards you have removed for the installation following those cards’ installation instructions. • WARNING! IF YOU HAVE A CARD IN SLOT 1 , use the insulator card (2” x 6”) included with the Vulcan package.
What Now? Using GS/OS You may want to use only the GS/OS operating system on the Vulcan. If that’s the case, you’re already set to go. The Vulcan is formatted with GS/OS installed in the first partition. Dividing the Partitions If you’d like to set up the hard drive so that it appears to be several separate disks, refer to the next chapter.

CHAPTER Two //e and ][ Plus Installation Installation Procedure You’ll need Phillips screwdriver to install the Vulcan. When you have one, follow the instructions below. 1) Open Computer Pull up on the two tabs at the rear of the case lifting the lid up and towards you.
Squeeze the left and right side of the plug to release, then pull up. Unplug Internal Cord iii) Remove screws. Turn the computer on its left side. On the bottom of the computer you will find four screws in a rectangular pattern the size of the power supply.
Attach Riser Plates (][ Plus Only) 7) Insert Vulcan With the computer still on its side, turn the Vulcan at an angle and insert it into the opening left by the old supply.
• ][ Plus Note: If the holes don’t align, try turning one or both of the bottom plates around. 9) Plug Internal Power Cord Into Motherboard. Return the computer to its normal position. The Vulcan’s internal power cord plugs into the motherboard in the same place as the old power supply’s cord.
Switch 3, ][+ Boot Enable Leaving this switch open allows a II+ or an unenhanced //e to boot directly from the hard disk. The Vulcan still must be the first drive device encountered (usually slot 7). If the hard disk is not to be the boot device in these systems, this switch should be dosed.
If you want the card to appear to be in the slot in which it is installed, set switch 4 to Open. Switch 2 can be Open or Closed. 11)Insert Card Into Slot Align the gold “fingers” of the controller cards edge connector with the slot; then use the heel of one hand to push the card down into the slot and seat it firmly.
14) Close Computer Replace the lid by sliding the front of the lid in first, lowering the back edge into place and then pushing gently and firmly on the back corners of the lid until it pops into place. 15) Plug In External Power Cord This is the same cord as your original power supply used.

CHAPTER THREE The Partition Manager First... The first thing you should know about the Partition Manager (PM) is that it is a formatting utility. Modifications to the size of a partition and switching operating system change the basic structure of the disk and will destroy any data currently within the partitions you are resizing.
From Basic From BASIC, set your current prefix to the VULCAN disk and enter -PART.MANAGER at the BASIC prompt. From the Finder (GS and lIe retrofit Only) 1) With your 3.5” drive set as the startup device, insert your Vulcan 3.5” disk into it and boot your computer.
While in MODIFY mode, the Partition Manager is set up like a spread sheet. Use the arrow keys to move from cell to cell. To move the cursor Use up “I” or up arrow down “M” or down arrow left .
Name the PartitIon To name a partition, while in MODIFY mode: 1) Move the cursor to the NAME column of the partition you want to name. 2) Press <return>.
4) DOS 3.3 allows a maximum partition size of 32 Meg made up of a number of either 140K or 400K volumes (set in the FORMAT option). 5) Pascal allows a maximum partition size of 16 Meg (16,383.5K -- $7FFF). 6) CP/M allows a maximum partition size of 8 Meg (8192.
To Use increase size by 32K “1” or up arrow decrease size by 32K “M” or down arrow increase size by 0.5K “K” or right arrow decrease size by 0.5K "J" or left arrow iv) Press <return> The sizes are dependent upon the total available space.
Because ProDOS can recognize only 8 online volumes, you may want to have less than four drives active depending on your system’s setup. For example: if you have two 5.25” drives, two 3.5” drives and a RAM disk, you would only want three Vulcan partitions active.
2) Move the cursor to the SYSTEM column of the partition you want to resize. 3) Press <return>. 4) Use the arrow keys or I, J, K, M keys to toggle through the system options until you reach the desired system. 5) Press <return>. 6) Changing systems automatically turns off that partition so turn on the partition if you want it active.
Set Boot Partition To set the boot partition, while in MODIFY mode: 1) If there is not already an asterisk in the boot column of the partition you want to boot from, move the cursor to that column. 2) Press <return>. The asterisk will be removed from its current position and will appear in that column you currently have selected.
Formatting * Note: Formatting will completely erase everything that may still reside on the partition being formatted. You should have all important files backed up by this time.
Quit When you're ready to leave the Partition Manager, use the QUIT option. Final Check Before you leave the PM, check your settings to make sure they are as you want them.

CHAPTER FOUR ProDOS 8, DOS 3.3, Pascal, and CP/M * Note: You must be within a partition’s operating system before you can copy files to it. For example, you can’t copy to the DOS 3.3 partitions while in ProDOS. Only the partitions that are currently ON and contain the system currently booted will be recognized.
Booting from a Vulcan DOS 3.3 Partition To boot from a DOS 3.3 partitions, follow these steps: 1) Follow the steps in the previous section. • Note: The first volume must be 140K; you cannot boot from a 400K volume. 2) Initialize Volume 1 to make it a bootable device.
Copying Files with FID RD is a binary program which will copy DOS 3.3 files and applications from one disk to another. Apple’s original version does not recognize hard drives as an option. We’ve modified the version included on the Vulcan’s DOS 3.
AE.FID (or=) Specifies filename of first file to copy. The equal sign (=) is a wild card character meaning “copy all”. Repeat the above steps for each file you want copied or, if you’ve pressed “=“, you won’t need to repeat the steps for individual file copying.
The first time you select this option in a session, you’ll be asked to specify the slot, drive, and volume. The subsequent times, you’ll be returned to the volume last chosen. To view a different volume, use <7> RESET SLOT AND DRIVE before pressing <3> again.
Other DOS 3.3 Goodies We’ve included some other helpful utilities on the DOS 3.3 disk. Run Volume 2 Hello - Runs Hello program on V2 of the same partition. Park Heads - Moves hard drive’s heads to safe place. Use just before shut down. Catalog All Volumes - complete listing of all DOS 3.
CHAPTER FIVE Backing Up the Vulcan Introduction Because Vulcan’s partitions act as separate disks, you'll need to backup the partitions separately. We’ve included Apple Computer’s Backup IL program on the ProDOS partition of the Vulcan for backing up the ProDOS partitions.
Suggested Backup Schedule If you use your computer constantly, we recommend that you use make a backup of the entire hard disk on a weekly basis and back up individual modified files daily. If you don’t use your computer that much, a bimonthly or even monthly full backup may be all you need.
* Note: Remember that it’s much quicker to preformat the disks instead of letting Backup II do it. Refer to the chart at the beginning of this chapter to get an idea of how many disks to preformat. 1) Run Backup II. 2) Label one of the blank formatted disks /BU1 along with the date and insert it into the drive to which you’ll be backing up.
10) Select where to output the file list; ◊ Press <return> for screen only ◊ Press P-<return> for printer and screen if you have a printer connected. Backup II will then begin the backup procedure. The program will tell you which disk it is currently backing up as well as how many total disks it needs.
B — BACKUP FILES R — RESTORE FILES Q - QUIT PLEASE SELECT AN OPTION 4) Press “M” to select BACKUP MODIFIED FILES. M — BACKUP MODIFIED FILES P - BACKUP BY PATHNAME SELECT AN OPTION OR <ESC>: 5) At the BACKUP FROM prompt, type in a slash followed by the name of your Vulcan partition.
1) Run Backup II. 2) Insert the disk from which you want a listing into the proper floppy drive. 3) From Backup H’s main menu, press the R key on your keyboard. This selects the RESTORE FILES option. B — BACKUP FILES R — RESTORE FILES Q — QUIT PLEASE SELECT AN OPTION 4) Press L to select LIST FILES.
• Note: If you don’t have a list of what files are on what disks, you can list the contents of each disk following the instructions under the Listing Files section above. 3) From Backup II’s main menu, press the R key on your keyboard. This selects the RESTORE VOLUME option.
10) At the TO THE DIRECTORY — prompt, type in the name of the directory (and the pathname if so desired) to which you’ll be restoring the file or files, ex: TO THE DIRECTORY —— (/VULCAN1 11) S.
