No.  The mac 'Drive' button switches drives like the 'old' Apple II drive
button.  The name over the scroll window shows the path from the root to
the current folder.  The System 7.0 Mac is the same, except there is a
'phantom' volume at the bottom level, showing all the volumes mounted
(Doesn't the Apple II do this?)
