Do the SuperDrive's still have that little hole below them, just big enough for the end of an opened-up paper clip? You pushed it into the little hole there and the drive would open. I always used to have a paper clip on me, prepared for whenever a Mac drive got stuck and software ejects didn't work anymore, which was quite common back then, in the ancient days when i was training students in using Macs. |

Not on the eMmac - the small hole was on the old iMac and a pretty useless bit of kit it was too, if you ask me. |

Well, the hole has been there since the very first (hard-disk-less) Macs in 1984, So Apple's engineers and users must have found it useful to keep if there for so long in all following models up to the iMac, dozens of models. Pushing the little switch inside the tiny hole was often the only way of ejecting the floppy disk in the early Mac days. As you were working with no hard disk back then, one floppy drive usually was reserved for your Program disk and the other drive for your data, your personal files. So it was pretty important to eject the floppy disk, to change to another program or a different set of your own files. Those were the days... |
