There's a Menu Extra (aka "menulet") that you can put in your menu bar 
that may provide an eject button.  On my wife's iMac, when you click on 
the little icon, it says "Eject Superdrive".  The menulet can be found 
here:

	/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Eject.menu

Just double-click it to put it in your menubar, then try clicking the 
eject icon.  I'm not sure if it will stay in your menu across restarts; 
you may have to make it a startup item (in your Accounts prefpane).
