It definitely has a shut down command.  It just ignores it and decides it will restart without ejecting the disk.  Perhaps it has become self aware.  Or perhaps it is some anomaly with using an external 800k drive with it.

Very weird! As you mentioned before, it might have something to do with not having an internal drive that is confusing it.

My oldest machines are a 512Ke and a Mac Plus. They are fine with having an internal 800K drive (as one would expect with that generation) but who knows what is going on with the 128K.
