I just got an iMac G3. I was wondering if there was a way to control the volume and eject the optical drive from the keyboard. I have it's original keyboard and mouse.
Thanks

Theres a little extension called Open Try 1.5 (thats the OS9 version)you key
control/esc and the CD will eject. There may be an OS 10 version. Or on PCC macs use the key stroke Apple icon /y (put away) in the file menu.

Thanks, Mac SK. Is there any way to control the volume with the keyboard? The reason I ask is that I use it to watch movies and I hate having to go through the trouble of finding the volume bar every time I want to change it. I hardly see a reason to buy a new keyboard when the one that came with the G3 works just fine.

There may be some shareware app to for key stroke sound,don't know for shure
You can use the control strip in OS9 to change sound levels.

Don't remember if it works in OS 9 but pressing and holding down F12 should eject a cd.
