 This article shows you how to use GS/OS with a ProFile hard disk drive.
 Before beginning, make sure that:

  - The ProFile Interface Card has the 341-0299 ROM.  (See Tech Info
    Library article "GS/OS:  Needs Latest ROM Revision To Work With
    ProFile" for further information.)

  - The ProFile Interface Card has been modified for use with the Apple
    IIGS.  (See Tech Info Library article "Apple II ProFile Interface
    Card Modification for the Apple IIGS" for further information.)

    NOTE:  The Partition and Zero option of the Advance Disk Utility does
				not work with the ProFile; it works with SCSI drives only.

 Procedure for Using GS/OS With a ProFile
 ----------------------------------------

 Follow these steps:

 1. Select a slot for the ProFile Interface Card (this
   procedure uses slot 7).

 2. Install the ProFile Interface Card and turn on the Apple IIGS.

 3. Press Apple-Control-Esc to enter the Control Panel.  In the Control
   Panel, under the SLOTS item:

    a.  Set SLOT 7 to "Your Card".
    b.  Set STARTUP SLOT to "5".
    c.  Press Return, Esc, Return to exit from the Control Panel.

 4. Turn the computer off.

 5. Insert the Apple IIGS System Disk in the first 3.5-inch drive and the
   System Tools disk in the second 3.5-inch drive (if available).

 6. Turn the computer on.

 7. After the system starts up, the SYSTEM.DISK, SYSTEM.TOOLS, and ProFile
   appear on the desktop.

    NOTE:  If the ProFile was not formatted for ProDOS, GS/OS asks if the
           volume should be initialized.

           To initialize:

           a.  Select "Initialize".
           b.  Name the volume.

           This should take only a few seconds.

 8.  Open the System Tools disk and run the Installer program.

    NOTE for single-drive systems: Eject the System Disk and insert the
           System Tools disk.  The Installer program prompts you with
           Eject/Insert dialog boxes.

    a.  A list of items to install appears.
    b.  Select "Install System Files".
    c.  Use the "Volume" button to bring the ProFile disk name to the top
        right of the screen.
    d.  Select "Install".

    The Installer program copies the System files from SYSTEM.DISK and
    SYSTEM.TOOLS disks to the ProFile.  Old System files are replaced,
    but Desk Accessories, Fonts, and other files in "SYSTEM FOLDER" are not
    deleted.

 9.  To add other items, such as the SCSI card or 5.25-inch drive:

    a.  Select the item.
    b.  Click Install.

 10. Install a printer driver:

    a.  Select the item.
    b.  Click Install.

 11. Set the Control Panel to start up from slot 7.

 12. Restart the system using the ProFile.

 The ProFile is now set up for use with GS/OS.

    NOTE:  If you copy applications to the ProFile, copy only the program
           and data files.  Do NOT copy the System Folder from the application
           disks.
