While playing around with the Formatter program posted on comp.binaries.apple2
recently, I came across an obscure Finder bug.

It seems that if you boot up System 5.0 to the Finder off a floppy with
a certain interleave (say, 2:1, volume name 'System.disk'), eject it by
dragging inot the trash can (I can't stand all these cute icons), and then
put in another disk *with a different interleave* than the boot volume, 
but the same volume name, Finder thinks that the original disk is still
on the desktop, although it's not.  If you put in the original, or another
disk with the same name and same interleave, it works fine.  It also works
OK if after booting, you put in 'System.disk2', eject it (trash) and then
insert another 'System.disk2' with a differnet interleave.


Aside from the above topic, is there any reason why after copying files from
one volume to another with the Finder, the source directory gets selected
and deselected three or four times?
