Vulcan has the ability (like the older Siders) to use many different *file*
systems.  Operating systems use the drive, not the other way around.

And GS/OS is *not* a file system.  GS/OS works with other file systems, like
ProDOS and DOS 3.3 ('cept a DOS 3.3 FST isn't currently available).  Something
that works with ProDOS should work with GS/OS, given a ProDOS FST.  Something
that works with DOS 3.3 should work with GS/OS, given a DOS 3.3 FST.  And so
on, and so on, and so on.
