System 7: Unmounting a Disk

How can I unmount a disk (floppy, server, or hard disk) and remove the disk image from the desktop, besides dragging it to the Trash? System 6.0.5 and System 6.0.7 eject a disk and remove its icon from the desktop when I press Option-Command-E.

This does not appear to work with System 7.0. All System 7.0 seems to support is Command-E, so you still have to drag an icon into the trash.

Command-Option-E does not work in System 7.0. Command-Y has taken over that function.

Select the disk icon and either choose Put Away from the File menu, or use the keyboard equivalent, Command-Y.
