Could someone explain to me what the eject menu do for in WB3.2 and above.Is this related to the TD_EJECT command?http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD...e00EA.htmlwhat should we expect from a USB key or a fixed disk, or a CDROM ?Many Thanks.

Is it not for "ejecting" ADFs that may have been mounted by 3.2's new ADF support?

According to the online guide of "dacontrol" on AOS3.2:

Code:

 EJECT 

 Ejects a medium, i.e. an ADF file. You need to state which unit or 
 device name it is associated with. Once the medium is ejected,
 you can move or delete the file.

and I think you're right that it's using trackdisk.device, by looking at the github page of the project:

Yes, ejecting adfs is what it is for.

It will also eject an ATAPI or SCSI removable drive with motorized eject, such as a CD drive or Zip or SyQuest or what have you.
