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. It also contains the Vulcan’s utilities such as the native mode driver, partition manager, Backup II, and a modified ProDOS 8. If you want to reconfigure your partitions, you won’t have to backup our utilities.

The 5.25” disk is two sided. The front side contains Vulcan’s ProDOS 8 utilities including Backup II, Partition Manager, Park Heads, and ProDOS patcher. The back side has the DOS 3.3 system and various DOS 3.3 utilities including Æ’s version of FID, which support the Vulcan. (For a more complete list, see p.

34.)

The Vulcan's Fan

The Vulcan’s fan keeps the power supply and hard drive cool. If you have several powerful cards in your computer however, strongly consider a separate cooling fan for your system.

The Power Supply

The Vulcan’s built-in power supply replaces your computer’s power supply. Applied Engineering designed Vulcan’s power supply to be both more compact and more powerful than the one included with your computer.
