Just to add one comment on this great article, the Apple High Speed
SCSI interface also allows ejecting removable disks.  With a partitioned
Zip disk (or CD-ROM), you have to lasso or shift-click to hilight all the
partitions and drag them to the trash to eject the disk.  As long as one
partition remains on the desktop, the disk stays in.  There is no need
to turn off the computer to swap disks.
