I've noticed  that when using the released version of Multifinder
to copy diskettes  on  a  single-floppy  Mac  II,  I have to swap
diskettes several times during  the process.  Given that this Mac
II has 2 Meg.  of memory and NO other tasks were launched, why is
this necessary, since all of the  800K  diskette  should fit into
the available memory?

Apple, any ideas?
