I have been trying to get an answer to this problem for about 9 months now - I hope now that folks are more familar with 5.0.2 someone can help me. I have a IIgs with a 1.5 meg card. I have an Apple 5.25" card in slot 6 and 2 Apple brand 5.25" drives plugged in. I have an Apple 3.5" disk plugged into the drive port and a Unidisk 3.5" plugged into that. I have the slots set to defaults except for slot 6, which I set to my card. I have the boot set to slot 5. I boot up 5.0.2 and all is well. I have the 5.25" driver, the Unidisk driver, the midi driver (i have tried with and without this one), and the imagewriter ii driver. I do NOT have any personal inits, fonts, or das installed. I boot from a disk in the Apple (not Uni) 3.5" drive. I bring up a GSOS program, I dont think that it matters, but for example the TextDisplay program - by double clicking on its icon from the finder. The program is on the disk in the UNIDRIVE. It comes up. I pull down the file menu and select open. I get the File selection dialog box. The file that I want is not in the Unidrive. I change drives (to ram5, then the Apple drive). Meanwhile, I hit the eject button on the UNIDRIVE, pull out the disk, and insert another disk. I change drives again. At least 60% of the time, the selection box continues to display the original drive. And I have messed up the root directory of such a disk by trying to click on entries in the list. ********* OK, stop right here. After you insert the 5.25 disk into the drive, the smartport has no way ok knowing that you just switched disks. You then have to click on the grey disk icon in the finder in order for the finder to realize that you have switched disk around. This ought to fix it. ********* If ANYONE out there has a fix for this - so that File selection knows that I have changed disks on the Unidisk - PLEASE let me know! P.S. The 5.0.2 system disk was created by using the Installer for the original 5.0 disk, and then the 5.0.2 script to update the disk. -- Larry W.
