	The Macintosh does not work like most other microcomputers when dealing
with ejecting disks. Since the Mac keeps a lot of information about the system
on the disk apart from the directory, it only lets you eject a disk THROUGH
SOFTWARE. i.e., in order to eject a disk, you must:
	1) either choose the "EJECT" option from the finder's menu's, or 
	   type <Ctrl><e>.
	2) The magic sac will respond by displaying a flashing "A" in the upper
	   right corner of the screen. At this point you may eject the actual
	   diskette.
	3) Insert the other diskette. The ST/MagicSac will now read in the 
	   directory and desktop information from the new diskette.
