It seems strange that the icon of a drag & drop file copying commodity would control a completely unrelated Workbench menu for starting programs; especially since ASyncWB wasn't even added to the OS until OS3.5. The history feature does not exist independently of AsyncWB (that I'm aware of ). T...

NOHISTORY switches off the Execute Command history.

The default 32bit pointer is here: envarc:Sys/def_pointer.info

so rename that and reboot and you wil get an old style pointer.

It really depends on the drive. I have a older thinkpad drive that will 'almost' work on the USB alone, but is significantly more reliable with the external powersupply attached. Also some more modern drives come with 2 USB connectors to enable double powering from 2 sockets, they need to be on sepe...
