Installing the GS/OS Driver
For best performance and versatility, it is recommended to install the MicroDrive's
GS/OS driver on your System volume (the floppy disk or the hard disk partition you
boot from). If you don't install the driver, your
MicroDrive Turbo Card won't give you
the fastest speed you could expect. However, the card also works fine with no
GS/OS driver installed.
To install the GS/OS driver, just use any file copy utility and copy the driver from the
utilities disk to your /my.disk/SYSTEM/DRIVERS/ folder.
my.disk is the place holder
for the name of your boot volume.
This can be an Apple system disk, your hard disk, or a RAM disk.
If you are planning to use more than one volume as a bootable system volume,
please be sure to copy the driver into every SYSTEM/DRIVERS/ folder. The driver's
functions are available after the next reboot of a GS/OS system volume.
You also can use the INSTALLER to install the driver a bit more conveniently. For this
purpose, a copy of the INSTALLER (present on the GS/OS system disk /INSTALL).
should be launched from the
MicroDrive Turbo
Utilities Disk.
Note: Under the Apple II
GS
Operating System a GS/OS driver is not available under
ProDOS 8 operation. The driver is only active while GS/OS is active. If you
launch a ProDOS 8 application, the driver is suspended until you return to
GS/OS operation. This is true for any block device driver under GS/OS.
