I'm using Finder 6.0 with System 4.1 on a Mac 512KE, and recently discovered something interesting. If I'm working with a desk accessory, and put a floppy in (but continue working with the DA while it's mounting), the Finder will show any open folders on the newly inserted disk, but *not* anything on the desktop. Opening the disk icon (the disk directory is initially closed) causes the icons on the desktop to appear. Has anyone else run into this? Is it fixed in a later version? (Will later versions run on "antiques" like my 512KE? :-) Anton Rang rang@cpswh.cps.msu.edu +----------------------------------+------------------------+ | Anton Rang (grad student) | "VMS forever!" | | Michigan State University | rang@cpswh.cps.msu.edu | +----------------------------------+------------------------+

Finder 6.0 requires System 4.2 (which together constitute System Tools 5.0) gosh, is this new math? In addition, the last official system release for 512e's was Finder 5.3 and System 3.2. Later releases require Mac Plus or higher. That's the official word, I have run Finder 5.5/System 4.1 on a 512e and didn't have any problems, other than the increased memory and disk requirements. > >+----------------------------------+------------------------+ >| Anton Rang (grad student) | "VMS forever!" | >| Michigan State University | rang@cpswh.cps.msu.edu | >+----------------------------------+------------------------+ ----- L.
