I've just been advised by a NeXT SE that the inability of 3.0 to eject/init floppies  
(and, on my machine, opticals and CDs) is a bug INTRODUCED between PR2 and the final  
release. Ugh.

Use /etc/disk.

Anyone else know a fix or workaround?

I do not run/use Engage! but I did have the same problem.  Keying on some
of the discussion earlier on the subject, I stopped autolaunching Apps
until the problem disappeared.  I discovered that my problem resulting 
from autolaunching AltDock.  If I do not autolaunch this application,
everything seems to work great.  I can subsequently start AltDock and my
operation is back to normal.

For whatever it's worth.
