This is normal. OS3.9 allows Workbench to multitask while doing file operations. 3.5 might too, but I have never used it.

Wow, Jazzbench! That brought back memories! At the time I couldn't really work out what it was supposed to be other than a Workbench disk with some tools included. Did it have some more fundamental changes than that?

Also, was it Jazzbench that had a sample from 2001 of Hal saying "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't let you do that" as the error sound?
