Everyone who has jumped on Todd is WRONG. (Boy, don't you all feel toasted
by that all-encompassing flame!) His statement should NOT be reduced to

"This is the function of SafeEject, which was written for FDHDs."

but rather

"System 6.0.4 only eliminates the need for SafeEject if you have the FDHD."

I don't know whether this is TRUE or not (hey, I can't answer every question
for you :-), but that's what he said. He just said it in the wrong place, for
which he should get two demerits for bad grammar.

Ciao,
Danno
