Something I've noticed for quite some time but never got around to
following up:

Long ago, you could eject a disk using Com-Shift-1 or Com-Shift-2
almost anytime, within any application. It seems that that has
changed. I notice it the most when I eject my system disk from the
internal drive of my 512e and insert an application disk like MS-W**d.
Now, I still have another disk in my external drive, but I no longer
need it, and when I get the hated "Please swap 'till you drop" dialog
box, I can't Com-Shift-2 to get the darn disk out of the external
drive so I can put one of the other disks in it. (Got it?) This can be
very frustrating; It is as if I temporarirly had a single drive
system.

Any comment as to why Apple removed this low-level construct? I would
appreciate if they put it back. (Who did it harm when it was there?)
