Re: Vulcan ][e won't boot. Help!

[eeastman@apple2.com]

Quoting Jeff Blakeney from a similar thread:
"There are a few possibilities.  The boot blocks on your hard drive may
have been wiped out.  There used to be a virus for the IIgs that did
this.  If you have a block copying program such as Block Warden from
the ProSel disks, you could try copying blocks 0 and 1 from a working
boot floppy to blocks 0 and 1 respectively on the hard drive and try
rebooting.

If you can, I would suggest backing up the important stuff and
reformatting the hard drive and install everything again from scratch.

At any rate, I'd try the block 0 and 1 copy first to see if that is
all that is wrong.  Oh, and if that does fix it, you might want to run
a virus checker on that drive too to make sure that the virus that
wipes out boot blocks is not on your system."

Quoting George Rentovich from a similar thread:
"If you are using a RamFast, it maybe trying to boot another partition.
Go into the utilitilies and change the Partition that is to be booted."

Hope these suggestins help your issue.  :)
Thankx,
Ed

It works beautifully, provided I boot from the floppy in Slot 6, then access the Vulcan.  For my convenience, I've been booting to BASIC.SYSTEM using a floppy, then doing a BYE and running /RAVEN/PRODOS.  Everything from then on works just fine. This thing used to boot.
