Booting from a Vulcan DOS 3.3 Partition
To boot from a DOS 3.3 partitions, follow these steps:
1) Follow the steps in the previous section.
• Note: The first volume must be 140K; you cannot boot
from a 400K volume.
2) Initialize Volume 1 to make it a bootable device. The
procedure is the same as initializing a standard DOS 3.3
disk with the addition of a volume number as in the
following example:
INIT HELLO, S7,D1,V1
3) Copy the DOS 3.3 disk to VI. (See the section on FID for
copy instructions.)
Patched DOS 3.3 Notes
The version of DOS you’ve installed with the INIT HELLO
command is a patched version. The patched version allow DOS
to accept lowercase letters, reduces loading time, and corrects an
error in the append command.
Do not use this version to INIT floppy disks. The patched
version will look for a Vulcan and will not boot if it cannot find
one. Instead, use the unmodified version of DOS 3.3 included
on the floppy disk to INIT other floppy disks.
If you change slot, you’ll need to repeat the process detailed in
the two sections above. The patched version expects to find the
Vulcan in a particular slot. If you switch slots, DOS won’t be able
to find the Vulcan until you repeat the necessary steps.
Volume Sizes
The sizes of the DOS 3.3 volumes depend upon the sizes you
chose while in the Partition Manager. Use the chart below to
determine the maximum number of files each of your DOS 3.3
volumes will hold.
Partition Size Maximum Files
140K 105
400K 217
Copying Files to the DOS 3.3 Partition
Non copy-protected DOS 3.3 files can be copied to the DOS 3.3
partition(s) using Æ’s own version of Apple File Developer
program (FID) included on the Vulcan’s DOS 3.3 floppy disk.
