I need to restore software on a PB 150 - Mac says shut down, insert
disk reboot,
However when I do that the disk gets spit out. This *is* the correct
PB150 restore software - but not original - I dowloaded somewhere. Does
the disk need to be named something? Or is there a key to force boot
need a simple
blessing (look for the little Mac icon on the folder)

I need to restore software
it back in the drive as
soon as you hear the startup chime, and the Mac should boot from it,
no problem.
Peace,

No. Macs always try to eject discs (well, floppies at least) at shut
down. So if you restart, you shut down first and the disk ejects.
One way to be certain is to shut down your Mac, stick the disk in the
floppy drive, and start

AFAIK, Macs always eject the floppy after shutdown, regardless of whether
it's picked in the SD cpl. One of things things I'm fairly sure of, but I'm
away from a (real) Mac to try it

No. The disk would still be ejected. It's built into the ROM.
Remember how the 1st Macs didn't ship w/ a hard disk? There needed to
be a way to make sure you could insert the disk you want to use the
next time you
