I tried poking a paperclip into the little hole next to the CD drive with

software-driven, as opposed to a mechanical release.
Is this actually the case? -- Michael
No, there is a button on the right hand side (as you look at it). I think it is power driven as it will respond at any time there is power to the imac.
You have to know where it is to operate it, its not a good idea to start poking around with paper clips, as it is close to a circuit board.
Have Fun
