Holding down the mouse at cold boot won't eject a floppy if the drive eject mechanism is damaged, which is what my previous post referred to.

As to the I/O cache, it would be interesting to read some technical facts on precisely what Apple did in that regard. Because again, I've never lost a file or corrupted a floppy by powering off with a disk still inside the Mac (I am talking about the 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, and SE/30 here -- all machines I've used extensively).
