On single-drive Apple IIGS systems, using Sort Directory on a disk other
than the System disk causes a system crash. Before the disk on which the
sort is to be done can be inserted, the System disk must first be ejected.
When the user chooses Sort Directory from the Apple menu, he or she is
prompted to insert the System disk, and the data disk is ejected. When the
System disk is again inserted and the OK button clicked, the system crashes.
Here are three workarounds:
- Use the new IIGS Finder.
- Attach another drive to the system so that the System disk doesn't have
to be ejected.
- Upgrade the Apple IIGS' memory so that the RAM disk can be used.
