This is the normal unmount procedure. The Newton is just being smart (for you). To obtain a faster unmount, freeze those packages that complain. Then, when you push the eject button, it won't ask you to reinsert.

Not neoeesary, the eject button is the unmount command.

There is unmount function as part of the ATA Support driver, but it only unmounts ATA partitions, not normal Flash Cards. Once again, it is not neccesary
