[et tu line eater!] Something I've noticed for quite some time but never got around to following up: Long ago, you could eject a disk using Com-Shift-1 or Com-Shift-2 almost anytime, within any application. It seems that that has changed. I notice it the most when I eject my system disk from the internal drive of my 512e and insert an application disk like MS-W**d. Now, I still have another disk in my external drive, but I no longer need it, and when I get the hated "Please swap 'till you drop" dialog box, I can't Com-Shift-2 to get the darn disk out of the external drive so I can put one of the other disks in it. (Got it?) This can be very frustrating; It is as if I temporarirly had a single drive system. Any comment as to why Apple removed this low-level construct? I would appreciate if they put it back. (Who did it harm when it was there?)
