  I continue to have frequent file copying problems with the Finder on the GS
System Disk 3.1.  The following is a typical example:
  I booted up the System Disk and went into the Finder.  I initialized my
ramdisk (800K) and tried to copy the entire system disk to the ramdisk by
dragging the System Disk into the ramdisk.  (In this particular instance, I
held down the option key and chose the Add Contents option, but similar
problems occurred when I used other options.)  After quite a while of copying,
the message "I/O error has occurred while using the disk "ram5."  Can't complet
e this operation."  came on the screen.  Two folders had been put into ram5,
although not completely.  I dragged the folders into the trash, but when I
tried to empty the trash I got a message "System Error!  Can't complete this
operation." with a #8050 in the lower left hand corner of the dialog box.
  I tried restarting the Finder (from itself) by double clicking it and then
was able to successfully delete the folder.
  If I try to copy one file at a time, things usually work fine, but these
problems crop up when I try to copy folders or whole disks.
