Summary: This seems to be a common problem

I've received lots of responses from pele about my disk ejecting problems.
Evidently this is a common problem with the new 800K drives... especially with
upgraded Macs.  No one seems quite sure what to do, but many have suggested

I've received lots of responses from pele about my disk ejecting problems.
Evidently this is a common problem with the new 800K drives... especially with
upgraded Macs.  No one seems quite sure what to do, but many have suggested
that the problem has a way of alleviating itself after a lot of disk ejecting.
If anyone knows a way that the problem can be permanently solved, PLEASE post
to the Net... it's really an amazing nuisance to have to keep a paper clip
in one's hand at all times.

Also, re: disk speed hardware control:  I was told by a friend that he visited
a repair shop where the repairmen had turned the eject speed up all the way.
When they ejected a disk, they simply held their hands out about a foot away
from the drive and caught the disk as it came flying out of the slot.  Who sez
computers can't be fun??!
