A very trivial question for one of the folks at Apple....

I'm running a GS with an Apple Disk ][ and I/F card installed.  If I don't
have the APPLEDISK5.25 driver installed, it's not recognized, which makes
sense.

If the driver is installed and there's no disk in the drive, when the desktop
environment is started up, there's no icon for the 5.25" drive shown.  So far,
it still makes a certain amount of sense.

However, if there is a disk in the drive, the desktop includes an icon for
both the disk, by name, and for the driver.

That last combination seems just a bit redundant, especially since the driver
icon doesn't show up when there's no disk in the drive.

Is there some particular rationale for displaying either no icon or two icons,
rather than one icon (either the driver or the disk)?
