     Actually, it isn't possible to detect a disk eject in all cases,
as a result of a hardware failing.  Apparently, the machine cannot
detect an eject if the diskette is write protected.

     This leads to a problem in Magic Sac, which requires the
occasional use of function keys F1 and F2 to tell the Atari that the
diskette is to be (or has been) ejected, so that the Mac Emulator will
do the right thing.
