I never experienced that do shell scripts would run slower than direct Applescripts. Indeed ejecting a Fire Wire hard drive via a do shell script happens in less than a second.

Yes Claus, but we’re talking about a device whose properties contain ejectable:false, which might explain the lagging...
I now have put into my srcipt a check for the ejectable status and uses either Finder eject disk or the (slower-for-a-PCcard-adapted-compact-flash-card) shell script.

Hi all,
Thanks for your recent input on this baffling subject.
After a few tests, here are my conclusions:
Firewire Harddrive, CD/DVD and USB connected card readers (containing the same CompactFlash card I initally had a problem ejecting) return in their properties that they are ejectable.
In the case of a PCcard with my CompactFlash card in an adapter this returns ejectable:false
Would any of you (and why not Mr. Nebel, if he has an idea why) car to comment ?
I now hav e to throw a shell command at it – and that takes about 10 seconds to complete. Hardly helpful when working a photo report in stressful conditions.
Best,
