Also anouther little known trick that usually works. When you turn on the unit hold down the mouse button until the CD pops out. This will ususally work with any slot loading iMac.

John- Have you tried the eject button that is on the drive itself? If I'm not mistaken, you should see what seems to be a pinhole on the right hand side of the CD drive (slot-loading). There is a similar hole on the tray loading drives that were in the early iMacs (233) but I don't recall where. I want to say somewhere around the eject button you'd normally press.- Have a paper clip handy, reboot and immediately insert the paper clip into that pinhole. You should feel the eject button depress. If your timing is right, the disk should pop out.

I am trying to install YDL 4.0.1 on an iMac - 350 Mhz. It got to the second CD and then gave me a blank screen with a symbol for a file with a flashing question mark in it. I have disconnected all the peripherals and have tried rebooting but all I get is the same symbol. I can't even get the cd out. Anybody help, please. John Vile
