One interesting 'feature' of the 800K Mac
drive (and I suspect the 400K
drive is similar) is that there's a pin on the connector (pin 9, I think)
which will trigger the eject mechanism if clamped to ground. It's not
used on the Mac AFAIK. Maybe it was used on the Lisa.
I suspect that the feature is used by the Apple II family. External
3.5" drives for the II have an eject switch.
