I copied the document "Change History 6.0.4" from apple.com and did
not see mention of this fix there. The only thing vaguely related
was a Finder fix:

"Fixed a bug which caused disk insertion events
to be missed on Macintosh Plus."

I would assume that "head-parking before eject" would be a driver level fix.

So, can we do without SafeEject or not? I don't care to rip another
head out of my Sony drive.
