Re: Upgrading IIGS HD System

  Sounds good if everything goes as planned. You might want to copy any
Vulcan drivers onto to 3.5s disks just incase. I seem to remember that
you need them with the 6.01 or any system for that matter.
   With only one 3.5 drive you will be doing a lot of disk swicthing.
Some time only for a few seconds.

Take Care
