Actually they do have eject buttons for both slots, but mine are
problematic and if it doesn't eject by dragging to the trash, then
out comes the paperclip.

Subj: [DuoList] Powerbook 2400c PCMCIA eject woes...
Hello everyone...
I have a sweet little Powerbook 2400c that I got off
of eBay earlier this year. One of the PCMCIA "eject"
buttons didn't work...and now the other has stopped
working. Its not a big deal for the bigger cards,
because I can just pull them out.
But for flash memory and such its a pain to get them
out without the eject button.
Any ideas...is there a quick fix?
Thanks
Eric
ps: I have tried dragging them to trash & control
clicking to eject them as well.
The 2400 does not have eject buttons. It does have the dreaded
holes and every
2400 owner should have the essential tool for the purpose. Take a
standard
paper clip and 'unfold' a long end. Now poke the straight portion
of the
paper clip into the hole. You have to make sure that you hit the
'striker'
at the right angle and then it is a matter of brute force.
However, it is not a long term solution and it looks as though you
will have
to replace the PCMCA cage.

Ian Thomas.
