--------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
EjectCD opens a small window with an "EJECT" gadget. It has been made,
because the Eject button of some CD-Rom drives are a little bit misplaced
and very small. The window opened is very small, so it won't disturb you
much on a normal sized workbench or default public screen.
This program will refuse to work with Kickstart or Workbench versions
below 2.04.
INSTALLATION
Use the supplied installation program to install EjectCD.
STARTING EJECTCD
Double-click on the program's icon to start.
The program will get the proper device and unit number out of its
ToolTypes. The installation program has entered the correct values here.
When starting from the CLI, you must specify the proper device name und
unit number.
ERRORS WHILE STARTING:
If the program refuses to start, there might be something wrong. For the
most common errors during startup, an error message will be displayed:
"NO BOARD FOUND":
The specified device refused to open, because it couldn't find the
controller card. Please check the hardware installation! Check also the
UNIT tooltype!
"CDROM NOT FOUND":
The device refused to open, because it couldn't find the cdrom drive
connected to a controller card. Probably it is not powered up. Please

proper software installation! Use the installation program! Check also the
