APPLIED ENGINEERING Vulcan - Manual (Page 30)

Because ProDOS can recognize only 8 online volumes, you may
want to have less than four drives active depending on your
system’s setup.
For example: if you have two 5.25” drives, two 3.5” drives and a
RAM disk, you would only want three Vulcan partitions active.
If you have four turned on, one drive unit will not show up
properly.
Another example: teachers can use the partition to store
different classes’ files. They can turn off all the partitions except
for the current class.
To turn the partition ON or OFF while in the MODIFY mode:
1) Move the cursor to the ON column of the partition you
want to turn ON or OFF.
2) Press <return> to toggle between the ON setting (*) and
the OFF setting (blank).
• Note: If you have the maximum number of partitions
for the operating system turned ON, when you attempt
to turn another one ON, the PM will beep and not let
you.
3) Use the arrow keys to move to your next option or press
<esc> to return to the main menu.
Selecting the operating System
Under the SYSTEM option, the Partition Manager gives you five settings
from which to choose. These are:
PRODOS
PASCAL
DOS 3.3
(TIM
CLEAR
• IMPORTANT: If you currently have files within the
partitions for which you are changing the SYSTEM
setting, you’ll lose these files. If there is information
that is valuable to you on these partitions, back them up
before making any changes.
When selecting an operating system, while in the MODIFY
mode you’ll need to:
1) Unlock the partitions for which you want to chose a
system. Refer to “Locking/Unlocking Partitions” above.
