[QUOTE="Chilbear, post: 1026212, member: 32643"] Wow long time since I handles Zip drives. I seem to recall using a screwdriver or knife to "lift" the lead edge of the disk to get them to eject. Once you get the upward motion started the drive seemed more than willing to finished the ejection. Converse I also remember using same technique but pushing "down" on the disk and then the drive would "accept" the disk and read it. I remember cracking the case of a 200MB Syquest shaving ever so slightly to get the levers to slide as everything was made of plastic. Try opening the door with your fingertip and pushing down or lifting up on the cartridge. You cannot hurt anything as all the components are protected. [/QUOTE]
