[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1557164, member: 56379"] I couldn't remember from memory...so I went down to the "Mac Museum" to check.;) Both the eMac and the iMac G4 have an outer cosmetic/decorative door that needs to be flipped down to see the optical drive front/face. The eMac definitely has the hole for a paperclip to do the manual opening of the tray. Unfortunately (as far as I could tell) the iMac G4 (what the OP has)...does not seem to have the hole for the paper clip. The iMac G4 is definitely a tray-loader...but Apple certainly had something different going on with that design (there's an extra plastic trim piece at the front of the tray). So if there is a hole...it's blocked by this extra trim piece. Or maybe there is no hole at all. - Nick [/QUOTE]
