Tom, I'm wondering whether the intermittent fault your seller of the CD unit had may have been related, possibly, to a ribbon cable or some other electrical connector in the unit itself - and thus its flakyness. Or the fact it's not sitting right with the original Apple faceplate. A long shot, but at least the unit works. My other guess about eject is that probably has pretty strict rules about how the system talks to exp. bay devices, and ones that don't play by the rules don't work properly. Also dunno whether the 330 has electrical or mechanical eject.
