After all this fuss again about DM now being fully compatible
(especially with respect to unmounting disks) I went ahead and
downloaded it from apple.apple.com. Alas, it does not allow me to
unmount most of my partitions on fixed hard disks nor my syquest
cartridges. Also, the System, MultiFinder, and almost all document
files lost their icons and not even temporarily copying the respective
applications onto the same disk brought them back. All in all it was
an exercise in futility. I wish people would post more accurate
accounts of what works and what doesn't.

By the way, I am running System 6.04, MF 6.1b7 on an 8MB Mac II with
PMMU. Also, the program DM Fix which I got from sumex and which is
supposed to address the unmountability problem does not work with
System 6.04.

Frustrated,

Edgar
