@colinstu

Early macs had the best floppy drives. Motorized on both eject and "inject."

Later Mac floppies (after 1992 or so) only had motorized eject. You could tell because there was a cut-out to allow you to force the disk deeper into the mechanism for it to catch the disk.

I don't think the insertion was actually motorized, though, I think it just had some way of grabbing the disks easier. Not sure how exactly that worked.

@colinstu that's how I expect computers to eject floppies, optical media, SD cards, USB drives, PCI-E cards...


and at higher, deadlier velocity!
