I never knew about Option+Eject until you suggested it. And I was surprised to find it opened my one and only drive. It is a very philosophical command. While I like to avoid unnecessary commands, if a command does something, can it be incorrect? And it two commands do the same thing, which one is deemed unnecessary? But of course, it is the extra key that makes Option+Eject unnecessary and therefore incorrect when there is only one drive. The incorrectness no doubt proceeds from the lack of necessity. > The tech note could not be more clear. The tech note is clear that the second drive opens when you press Option+Eject. The tech note did not say that Option+Eject would no longer open the first drive. However, you have finally answered that question by saying: > ... I don't believe there is a single keyboard command to eject both trays at > once should you have dual optical drives. Which is a great relief to know, since I was afraid Option+Eject would continue to open the upper drive while it also opened the second lower drive, which would then be covered up by the upper drive. So ... I am encouraged to buy that second drive from you, which is what started this thread. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be June 24.
