What everyone else said. Except DIYMatt. And the bit about the Wookie... and Hello Kitty. |

Not sure about a real key but it does sound a little
like the old Apple Mac floppy drives. I think I also
ran into this on 8" floppy drives on a CPM box. I
think the Mac had to be told in software to eject
while the CPM box just used to lock the draw
while the disk was rotating. |

And I also remember the fun and games trying to
retrieve a disk when either system crashed. I seem
to remember a bent paperclip solved the problem. |
