In article <}|R&F_@rpi.edu>, francis@pawl.rpi.edu (Frank J. Schima) writes... -I have one FDHD floppy drive on a mac IIcx. I have 5 meg RAM, so -why does it take more than one disk swap to copy one disk to another? -I realize the first swap is to check to see if there is space on the -destination disk (among other things), but it can take 3 or more swaps -sometimes. Are you running under MultiFinder? I suspect it may have something to do with the partition size.
