Vulcan question

[dalloff@freenet.columbus.oh.us (Dave Althoff)]

I'm about to do it.  I'm about to get a larger hard drive for my IIgs.

At the moment, it looks like I'll be dismembering my Vulcan GS, replacing
its drive with a SCSI drive, and replacing the controller card with an
Apple High Speed SCSI controller.  No problem there, certainly.

BUT:  There is the problem of the transition.  The Vulcan is leaving my
IIgs, but I'd like it to leave the data behind.  The question is, can I do
this without cooking my power supply?

What I want to do is use the Vulcan PS to power both its own drive and the
new drive while I transfer the data...new drive in Slot #7 and the Vulcan
in some other slot.  Then, once the transfer is complete, I can pull the
old drive and put the system back to normal.

My system normally contains a Video Overlay Card and two floppy drives
(both 3.5" and 5.25"), plus 5.25Mb RAM, but I can yank the VOC and the
external drives while I'm setting up the new HD.

Suggestions or advice welcome!  Quickly, please...I may be doing this as
soon as this week-end if I can find a suitable drive locally!
