	But but but but (Baaaawwwwll).... (sniff).   It doesn't do that!  
I've used Macs, and that's what I expected, but what I see it
	1)  I eject the disk by choosing the EJECT option in the finder.
	2)  "A" flashes, I push the button and get the disk out; the icon
	     becomes dim.
	3)  I put in a new disk: The (old) icon becomes bright again.. the
	    %$#^$%# thing just assumes that I put the ejected disk back in,
            and if I'm using the motivator, cheerfully rewrites all 400K
	    or whatever back onto the disk.  Nice, but I didn't get the
	    Sac to be a magic-format duplicator!  

All help will be greatly appreciated; I'm desperate now. Thanks Pete,
