Your WeMo would have to activate some kind of robotic finger to push in the disk, but how would it know the Mac was ready for the disk? I guess you could program a long delay into the relay circuits to activate the finger, because you only get one chance to turn on the WeMo. The length of the delay would depend on how much memory the Mac ROM has to test before it starts looking for the floppy disk. It's only a few seconds for a 512, but a Plus with 16Mb or more can take over a minute.

Won't it work if the disk is in the drive before the Mac is ready for it? That's how I used to boot my Performa 475. I would always put the disk in then turn it on. Are earlier ROMs different?
