displays two on the desktop. The only workaround I have found is to set the "Check 5.25 drives on Finder startup" checkbox in the Finder preferences dialog. This is unacceptable because for me because: a) it takes up a good portion of time every time a program is quit on returning to the Finder and b) it is noisy and annoying. >> I use HOOK, a software hack, that "unhooks" the drives that you select (even slot 6, drive B,) from being recognized by the computer. A similar command "rehooks" up the phantom drive(s). Hook is a SoftDisk program from the 8-bit SoftDisk that Sheppy sells. I recall that there is something similar for the GS/OS, but it was a bit more permanent, so I never installed it. A quick and simple solution is simply to place a ProDOS formatted disk in the 5.25" drive. The GS/OS will recognize the disk quickly and move on to the next volume, all without the grinding sound.
