Workstation M37-312-28 appears to have a malfunctioning 3 1/2" drive.
I attempted to access a disk in the drive using mtools, but received
no response.  I then tried to eject my disk, using the eject command
(it's a Sun SPARCclassic), but the command just hung, and the system
won't eject the disk, despite multiple tries.  At the moment, the disk
is still in the drive, since I can't get it out.
