I actually fixed it with the sellers advice. What you do is get that craft wire and fold it over four times and twist it to make it a relatively strong bundle. Next, you put it through the hole under where it get stuck and pull out extremely hard. Then you do it for the hole below it and repeat

Along the way I discovered (yes, I'm really behind on the migration to X thing) that OSX 10.5 doesn't announce itself as a file sharing server in any way that an OS9 machine can understand. Is that correct. Yup. 10.5 only supports AFP over TCP; the old network discovery protocols are gone.
