To remove a disk from a disk drive.
Since the introduction of the Macintosh, Apple used higher quality floppy disk drives. These mechanisms have electronic ejection parts. This allowed for the computer to clean up volume information and then eject the disk from software. The MacOS has two ways to Eject a diskette from the finder. One method is to drag the diskette over the Trash and drop it the other is to select the diskette and select "Eject" from the Special menu. The shortcut for this is
A command to a device (i.e., VCR, computer, or audio tape player) to allow the removal of the physical media (i.e., video, CD-ROM, or audio tape).
interface: Causing the computer to push a floppy disk out of the disk slot. This action may or may not dismount the disk, which is what happens when the computer forgets all about it. You'll know if a disk is dismounted because its icon disappears from the desktop; otherwise it is only dimmed. Choosing Eject Disk from the Special Menu ejects a floppy but doesn't dismount it; do this when copying from one floppy to another. Dragging the icon to the trash can is the preferred way to dismount and eject a disk. If the disk won't pop out, press command-shift-1. If all else fails, straighten out a paper clip and poke it into the little hole beside the slot.
