What's Included with the Vulcan
On the Vulcan
The Vulcan comes preformatted and set into ProDOS partitions.

We’ve included GS/OS version 4.0 on the first partition of the
IIGS Vulcan. Included in the System Drivers folder is Vulcan’s
native mode driver which speeds up Vulcan’s access time
dramatically. The driver is described in App. B.
Backup II is a ProDOS backup utility for backing up the ProDOS
partitions.
The Partition Manager program (PART.MANAGER) allows you
to configure the Vulcan in up to 16 different segments. Any
partition can be set up to run under ProDOS, DOS 3.3, Pascal, or
CP/M. Also use the Partition Manager to resize, format and
activate partitions as well as select from which partition to boot.
Introduction - Getting Started V
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.

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. (See picture following.)
Remove the IIGS cover
2) Remove Power Supply
i) Remove slot one card.
If you have a card installed into slot 1, you’ll need to remove it to
give yourself room to reach the internal power plug. Refer to
your slot 1 card’s manual for proper removal.
ii) Unplug external cord from back of computer.
This is the cord that runs from the back of the computer to the
wall socket. Unplug it from the back of the computer and from
the wall socket as well.
iii) Unplug internal cord from motherboard.
The internal power cord is the multi-wire cord running from
the power supply toward the back of the motherboard. Pull up
firmly on the white plastic part of the plug.

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.
4) Check Voltage Setting
The switch setting on back of the Vulcan must be set to the
proper voltage (115 in the United States).

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. You should hear the tab snap into place.
Snap Vulcan Into Front Tab
6) Plug Internal Power Cord Into Motherboard.
The Vulcan’s internal power cord plugs into the motherboard in
the same place as the old power supply’s cord. The connector’s
tab should be toward the right side of the computer.
•Note: Do not force the connector; it will plug in easily
in one direction.
