Hmmmnnn, when I try to boot I see the drive light come on, and hear the disk
seeking, but then the IIgs sez:    "Unable to load prodos."  Maybe the
previous owner wiped the disk, including ProDos. Searching the net for
"vulcan" and "IIgs" I did find some mention of having to put the driver on a
boot floppy in order to install ProDos, and I found a file called "aehd.shk
" in one of the archives. I'm hoping that's the driver, but need to do some
setup to get it onto a ProDos disk.
Anyone know what the 4 dip switches do?
Thanks for the help on this, guys.
