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.
