     With the Apple High Speed SCSI interface, does the successful eject
of a Zip disk and recognition of a newly inserted Zip disk work only
when all partitions of the to-be-ejected disk are Trash-ed at once? That
is, what happens if you move one partition to Trash; and, then, lasso &
move the remaining partitions to Trash? Does the Zip disk eject okay?

Are you able to insert a different Zip disk and have it recognized?

     Good! It sounds like the main difference vs. RamFAST is that
RamFAST follows 'the rules' a bit better-- it ejects the Zip disk when
any partition is Trash-ed and dims the remaining partition icons.

     Thanks for the details.
