IIRC the tip (and probably software) was given once by Sheppy.
- Go to your Startup disk / System / Drivers folder and
- Change the auxtype of the AppleDisk5.25 file to $0101 to have only 1
drive OR
- change the auxtype of the AppleDisk5.25 file to $010E to restore the
original value
The MoreInfo FinderExtras from BIll Tudor allows you to change such
data. Merlin16+ as well and there are probably plenty of others I am
not aware of.
