APPENDIX B

Vulcan Speed Under GS/OS (IIGS Only)

We’ve written a special driver to speed up the Vulcan’s access time under GS/OS. If you’re booting GS/OS from the Vulcan this driver is automatically installed. However, if you’re booting from a RAM disk, ROM disk or 3.5” drive, you’ll need to copy the driver to the boot disk.

To copy the Vulcan Driver using the Finder follow these steps:

1)Open the Vulcan’s System folder (or the System folder of the Vulcan’s 3.5” disk).

2)Open the Vulcan’s Drivers folder (located within the System folder).

3)Open the System folder of the disk from which you want to boot.

4)Locate the Drivers folder within the System folder.

5)Drag the file VULCAN from the Vulcan’s Drivers folder to the boot disk’s Drivers folder.

Where to Put the Vulcan Driver

You can also use your favorite copy program to copy the driver.

Source: /AE1 /SYSTEM/DRIVERS/VULCAN

Destination: /YOUR.BOOT.DISK/SYSTEM/DRIVERS where /AE1 is the name of your Vulcan GS/OS partition and /YOUR.BOOT.DISK is the name of the disk to which you’re copying.

Now when you boot from the disk, the Vulcan driver will be installed and your access speed will be dramatically improved.
