There's something funky about that key. My Windows workstations
doesn't recognize it as a key, that is, when I press it the OS does
not acknowledge any signal.
All the other keys in the extra tier at the top of the numeric pad
work as expected.

Didn't I see someone recently have the same problem I do right now,
viz: I have a Quicksilver running X that can boot back into 9, but
the key on the keyboard that opens the CD/DVD tray in X doesn't work
in 9. And unlike my last G4. this one doesn't have a button on the
tower to open it. So, just how do you get the tray open on the tower
when in 9? Didn't I see someone offer a solution to this recently?
What was it?

Listmember Ross, who has a memory like an elephant, e-mailed to remind
me that any OS-9 installer disk contains in its "CDs Extras" folder
another folder called "Eject Things." This folder can be dragged to the
hard drive and contains three ways to open a CD/DVD drawer: an
application just like the one on the Griffin site that can be
double-clicked on, a description of how to assign a keyboard F-key to
this application (in the Keyboard Control Panel), plus a little Eject
module for the Control Strip. So, Apple took care of this problem a
long time ago, and the solution sits waiting on any OS-9 installer
disk. Ross was the only one to remember!
