You should be able to unplug the cable and power from the upper drive and floppy then slide that whole upper tray out (hd and floppy). I find that's the easiest way to access the bottom drive and cdrom. Also when removing the harddrive, the upper sled slides toward the rear of the computer while the lower sled slides toward the front. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
