The drive inside the Vulcan is an IDE drive, but the controller can only
work with drives of predetermined sizes.

Look at http://users.ids.net/~kerwood/shh.html (///SHH Systeme) to
buy a Turbo Microdrive IDE Filecard.  This is the updated IDE interface
from ///SHH that can now support IDE drives of any geometry up to
4MB in size.  (They are selling both the OLD Turbo IDE and the NEW
Turbo Microdrive IDE Filecard...be sure to get the new one...the old
one is limited to two 256k drives yikes!)

Replace the Vulcan controller with the Turbo Microdrive IDE Filecard,
then replace the hard drive inside the PS with any 3.5" IDE drive,
then reconnect the two with the Vulcan IDE cable.
