Re: Vulcan controller question

["windyapple" <shadley.thomas@gmail.com>]

I didn't realize the Vulcan controller could handle a CF card.  An old
Apple IIGS that I purchased last year came with a Vulcan drive, but the
hard drive itself quickly died :-(.

Would anyone mind coaching me on how to install a CF card on it?  Do I
just need to buy a "CF to 40 Pin IDE Adapter" and find a 20MB CF card?
This would be a great solution, although not as slick as the "IIgs
MicroDrive IDE Controller" that I bought last year for my original IIGS
:-)

Thanks!
Shad
