I would like to run a program that asks the user to insert a floppy, and after
one has been inserted, reads and writes to the disk.  I have written code
that can read from a floppy disk, but inserting a floppy normally couses the
Mac to mount the disk.  How can I turn off the auto-mounting?  Once my program
has finished reading and writing the disk, how do I eject it?  At this
point, the disk is not mounted.  Will PBeject work anyway?
