I went into open firmware and typed "eject cd" but it said it couldn't do it. I tried holding down the mouse button and rebooting, also without success. Another strange thing is when you start up the little OS9 happy mac shows up and then it eventually goes into OS X. Once it goes to OS X it asks me for a password which I don't know. So it never goes any further. How hard are these computers to get apart? Can I replace this hard drive with another? But then I can't load another OS because the CD/DVD won't eject what is in it. Catch 22. Any ideas?? On Aug 20, 11:25 am, Bruce Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > On Aug 19, 2009, at 8:42 PM, Cyrus Griffin wrote: > > > This doesn't work with slot-loading iMacs.
