[comp.sys.mac] Apple 800K Eject INIT vs Safe Eject

TCO1@psuvm.psu.edu (03/02/90)

Yesterday, I received a copy of Apple 800K Eject INIT without any
documentation.  I was told that this init will decrease the amount
of "This disk is unreadable" error messages.  It works by moving the
read/write heads away from the disk shutter.  This saves the heads
from being caught on the shutter.  This  init is for use with
machines not running system 6.0.4, since that is incorporated into
that system.

My question is what is the advantage of it over Safe Eject by Jay Riley?
The documentation with Jay's Safe Eject is very good and says about
the same thing Apple does about Apple 800K Eject INIT.  Why should I
switch?  I haven't had a disk stick or jam in the drive since I
installed Safe Eject.  Is there any reason to run both inits?  Is one
better than the other?
