[QUOTE="Bill2reg, post: 1026569, member: 61560"] It turns out that the paper clip hole is not open all the way into the drive. It's in the faceplate only. Why Apple did that I have no idea. All the keystroke tries did nothing. A needle-nosed pliers grabbing the disk did the trick. Now all those zip disks will be trashed. I have no idea why Apple would make a "dummy" hole and not make it functional but googling it I found that it is the way these G4's were made, not that it was a mistake on my particular Mac. [/QUOTE]
