MAC QB 1.00 README: Eject Routine for Both Floppy Disk Drives (34338)

This article was previously published under Q34338

SUMMARY

The Eject statement needs to be added to Appendix E of the "Microsoft QuickBasic 1.00 Basic Language Reference." The Eject routine ejects both the external and internal floppy drives at once. The following is an example:

PRINT "The floppy disk(s) are about to be ejected."
CALL EJECT
