TOPIC

    I was trying to duplicate a floppy using Mac OS 8.5. I went to eject the target floppy by holding down the Option key and selecting "Eject and Leave Behind" from the Special menu but the choice was not there. Eject was still there. When I selected Eject, the disk was ejected and the icon disappeared from the desktop instead of being greyed out. Is there any way to "leave behind" as before?

DISCUSSION

    Eject and Leave Behind has been removed from Mac OS 8.5. In fact, attempting to copy to any offline (greyed out) volume is no longer supported.

    To duplicate floppies you can use Disk Copy which is available from Apple Software Updates.
