My friend owns a Supra hard drive. After reading all the letters on this list about the 40-folder limit, I warned him about the dangers. He sent me the following reply: >Also I would like to point out that from common sense, there is no way the >desktop can have any knowledge about the folders on a disk that has never >been opened. For example, lets say I boot my hard disk, then close the >floppy window and insert a disk with 39 folders on it into the drive. NOw >assuming I never open that disk, there is no possible way for the computer >to see those and be affected by them. > However, I am going to bring drive C down below 30 folders just in case... Is this true? I gathered from the letters that just HAVING the folders around was a danger... one last thing, to test the bug, he created a floppy with 59 folders on it (he brought the hard drive down first, of course)... When he did a SHOW INFO, it reported 38 folders... --jon drukman ARPA: jsd%oz@mit-mc BITNET: drukman@umass "Do do the cruel immersion Do do the flaming tie" - shriekback
