File names changing !

Comment:

When copying files from a jump drive to the desktop the file names ( not the extension) changes!!! The file name was premium_4.pdf and rust_5.pdf and when copied to the desktop on Classic (Os9.2.2) the file name changes to premium_3 and rust_3 This is unreal and I confirmed it 3 times with 3 sets of eyes. We even tried to set it as read-only on the source machine then re-copy to the jump drive (formatted in fat32) and the file name still changed. The files were created in OSX panther using Adobe CS2. The Adobe version on the OS9.2 machine is Adobe 5. ANy thoughts? One suggested that the battery on the motherboard was bad . Any thoughts?
