Here's a once-removed question about an iMac. There's an iMac at work which don't work, ain't booting up. I tried to boot it from my OS 9.1 CD but it did not work, and now my CD is in the drive and won't come out upon reboot attempts.
Does anyone have any startup key or other magic I might try to recover my CD before getting out my screwdriver and taking the thing apart?

I have not looked at the CD drives on iMacs. but if they are like those on our legacy PCI Macs they have a small hole on the front.
A large paperclip bent so that the end can be shoved into this hole can be pushed against the lever inside which will eject the disk.
Take a look you might get lucky.
