Re: 5.25 drive issue w/ IIgs & sys 6.01

["william strutts" <wrstrutts1@home.com>]

Under Finder Preferences, see if the the option "Check
5.25" drives on Finder start".  I was getting that at first
too.  Once I checked that, the non-existant drives
disappeared on the desktop.  Finder Preferences are
found under the Special menu.
