Sulistio Muljadi has problems ejecting a DOS disk ...
>> It does not work.

What happened was is that some other program (most likely Terminal by
having it as the current directory) was using the disk.  2.0 seems to
have a bug in that it does not put up a window when it refuses to
chuck a DOS disk, as it does for Unix disks (floppy or optical).  When
the disk is not in use, dumping it in the trash and command-e will
eject it.
