This works to eject a disk, but again, it just opens and > closes the drawer very quickly. That seems odd. My eject key opens the tray and it stays open. I even tried holding it down. The tray stays open. Now if I press the key twice, the tray opens and immediately closes. As someone mentioned, that may be a keyboard problem. Did the eject key function normally before you swapped the optical drives? Unfortunately there are not too many ways you can test this without having a 2nd keyboard to try. > I'm planning > on keeping the old drive in there too.

There was no definitive answer. I choose to install OS X on the new drive. My logic was that if I really messed up, I could wipe the drive and start all over again, since I would have OS 9 on another disk. Also, if one of the hard drives went bad, I would still have an OS on the other drive. Carol Carol
