Is there any way of forcing ADTPro's VSDRIVE to only show one volume rather than two? It becomes a bit of a pain to cycle through volumes when both VSDRIVE1 and VSDRIVE2 are mounted. If I delete one of the drives out of the ADTPro Disks folder it just creates another one.

I imagine Dave will have the better answer here, but I'm guessing that if Virtual2.po wasn't ProDOS-formatted, but instead just a pile of zeroes (or another format like DOS 3.3 or Pascal), ProDOS would consider it an invalid volume and skip it (though in some cases I guess you might get I/O errors depending on the program).

if your booting from disk you can use the VSDRIVE program from 1.2.7 which was the last version to not support dual drives, it will still work with ADTPRO 2.0 servers and my stand alone vs drive box
