So, wait, you're actually sticking a pin in the eject hole to "manually eject"?
Yes.  Here is my current situation:

(1) I have a Mac 128k with ROMs  342-0220-B/342-0221-B

(2) The internal floppy drive is non-functioning, so I removed it pending replacement.

(3) As a result, I can only use the machine using one of my two external 800k drives.  The machine boots fine into System 2.0/Finder 4.1 (using the stock disk that came with the machine).

(4) When I go to the "Shut Down" command under the "Special" menu, the computer instantly restarts and reloads the disk without ever ejecting it.

(5) Thus, I have been forced to just press the power button after the chime and then manually eject the disk with a paperclip from the 800k drive.

So far, I have tested whether it was the absence of the floppy drive by plugging in the 400k internal drive (but not using it).  The machine still did the same thing.
