[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1631100, member: 175845"] I had two optical drives in my old G4 Mac MDD PPC (now sitting under my wife's desk unused) that would do the same thing sometimes, and I ended up doing some small mods on the bezel and the buttons with an xacto knife and sandpaper etc. That helped and worked and then I discovered a software menu for ejecting top or bottom or both drive trays [B]which was much easier[/B]. I can't recall the software name, but as I recall it was builtin to the OS and may have been some sort of applescript.app or something. Anyway, just a suggestion… ;) [/QUOTE]
