- Here's a workaround: Return your Texel drive and buy a different one that
- has an electronic eject.

- Seriously, I don't think there's any way around the problem -- the Texel
- drive simply doesn't recognize the Prevent Media Removal SCSI command, which
- is required by the ISC 3.0 High Sierra driver. We also tried Micro Designs
- SCSI Express driver, with the same result.
