How about getting a DISKREMOVED message and, if there are hot buffers
needing to be written out, putting up a requester saying "Put the disk 
back in the drive, now!" then flushing when the disk is put back in,
as the slow file system seems to do.  This whole thing is a hack unless 
supported by CA.

Speaking of hotkeys, there is one little hotkey that I'd very much like
to do a disk flush before proceeding:  Control-Amiga-Amiga
