Hi Jo-Even, on 17 Feb 00 you said:

I've always worked with a diskcache --even before MiNT-- and I'm very cautious 
when I switch everything off.

 UU> eject it from Thing or the CPX you got with HD-Driver (if you *have* HD-
 UU> Driver that is).

Yes, I have HD-Driver... (no other choice on Hades, IIRC) ...but I never though 
about using its CPX to eject my cartridges. It's not easy to retrieve it among 
all the CPX I have. I don't have Thing but Jinnee. It has a shortcut to eject 
any removable medium but the minix.xfs always complains.

I'd prefer there was a real 'umount'; everything would be easier and clearer. 
The useless 'sync' isn't enough. That's something our MiNT gurus should think 
about, IMHO.

See you later,
