Hello!
I have tried to fire-up a second-hand Vulcan 20MB harddrive sitting in a
IIGS ROM01. There is a ribbon-cable sticking out of the drive and a separate
controller card marked: Vulcan Rev.1.1 GS/20
The ribbon-cable from the drive does not seem to have a insert-guide notch
in order to see if the cable is inserted correctly or up-side down. Would
the red-lead on the ribbon-cable be facing up-or down when connecting to the
controller card?
Would I expect the drive to be readable directly after boot-up? I tried to
make the drive the start-up drive in CP, but this only resulted in a system
freeze.
Which command should be issued in order to access the drive from Prodos
/Dos3.3?
Any advice appreciated!
