View Ref-FileFAQ - I get problems accessing drive U: Thing
Q: When I read drive U:, drives A: and B: are accessed as well. What's
causing this?
A: In contrast with the Atari desktop and older versions of MagXDesk,
drive U: is now accessed using the MiNT functions Dxreaddir() etc.
When first accessing U:, GEMDOS (not Thing!) must refer to drives A:
and B:, which causes the drives to be accessed.
It's fundamentally a MiNT/MagiC problem which cannot be solved by
Thing.
