When I copy a file on my 1040 with one disk drive I have to swap the disk three times. Is this due to some verification procedure? If it is can someone tell me how to stop this?

I'm posting this for a friend who has no access to the net:

Why the Atari requires so much diskswapping is a mystery
to me (I do know it checks the disk-space on the target disk),
but there is one simple and effective solution:
Use a RamDisk as drive C: or D:, copy the file onto the
ramdisk, remove the destination disk, insert the target disk and
then copy the file from ramdisk to the destionation disk. Only
one swap necessary!
You'll be able to find a ramdisk in earlier netpostings!
