   Any GS/OS driver'd disk (most likely culprits are EnsoniqRam, maybe
the Ram5 driver, and my Swatdisk Beta) are 'ejected' on a quit to P8,
and inserted on return. This is only done on disks where the driver
is slot-independent, and therefore won't work from P8.

   Just a quirk of GS/OS; nothing to worry about.
