![]() I'd be interested in whether this is an alignment problem caused by settling and/or the breakdown of some of the material inside the machine, or if the ejection mechanism itself is getting weak. One other thought: It's not entirely clear that the problem with ejecting is with the drive itself. I have three of these systems now, in various states of repair, and the other benefit is that as a hot-plug device, a firewire ipod/hdd/odd can be shared among a number of different Macs. I've also used my PowerBook G4 (and it occurs to me: my iBook G4 could be used the same way) to target disk boot to an optical drive. They weren't entirely unpopular back in the day as upgrades to owners of basic iMac models for burning CDs and DVDs, or as secondary drives for copying operations, and these Macs will boot over firewire.Īnother option might be to put the files you need for recovery and reinstallation on a firewire-based iPod or firewire external hard drive. I'd be curious to hear other thoughts on this but largely it seems like the most viable option might be firewire external drive enclosures. ![]()
