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.

ProDOS 8

The ProDOS 8 we’ve included on the Vulcan and the 3.5” disk is a modified version which allows ProDOS 8 to recognize more than two Vulcan partitions. If you’re booting from other ProDOS disks, copy this version of ProDOS to them.

The first two ProDOS partitions which are ON will be drives 1 and 2 fo the Vulcan’s slot. If you have more than 2 on, the other(s) will show up as drives in another slot (probably 1). This doesn’t interfere with any other device you have in that slot.

DOS 3.3

We’ve included several DOS 3.3 programs to help you use your DOS partitions effectively.

Recognizing Vulcan under DOS 3.3

After you’ve set aside some of the hard disk space by setting up one or two DOS 3.3 partitions, you’ll need to inform the computer where these drives are located.

1)Set up the DOS 3.3 partition(s) as described in the previous chapter.

2)Inform the DOS 3.3 operating system where drives are.

i)Boot Vulcan’s DOS 3.3 floppy disk.

ii)Choose Quit from the menu. (You’ll get two cursors on the screen.)

iii)Type IN#n (where n is the slot number containing the Vulcan).

Now, if you’ve formatted the volumes under the Partition Manager and turned ON the partition(s), all the volumes are set up to copy to and read from.
