hi guys,

just got this in olc.  told the user how to eject using the pinhole, but
the machine may just need a reboot.  it also does not allow finger
connections.  it is M4-035-14

Question:
I'm on an SGI here in Rm4-035.  I just put a disk in the floppy disk drive, 
and tried to copy something onto it.  Permission was denied, so I decided to
take that disk out to try another, but the eject command doesn't work.  I just
get a "eject: No such device. Check your scsi id, fsname, or dir. Exiting."
message.  I'm not sure if this is a software or hardware problem, but I would
appreciate any help you could give.  I guess I'll just leave my disk in the 
drive (m4-035-14 :18.53.0.195).
