Eject! v1.0.1

Eject! is a freeware program that opens the CD tray on most PPC Macintoshes. It is compatible with pre-OS X Macs. Simple to use. Extract the DL archive to some location inside your hard drive and invoke the Keyboard control panel to bind Eject! to a function key (F12 is used in OS X, so using the same makes it easy to remember).

This is freeware, C source included. (public domain)
2nd DL above is the source code for Eject!

Compatibility
Architecture: PPC

PPC code only. Tested OK under Mac OS 8.6
Tested and works OK under OS 9.2.2
Not working for me in SheepShaver, so far...

More useful if used with Mac OS 9.1 and earlier (with 9.2, Apple supplied its own "Eject Extras" utility).

Requires: Standard Apple supplied CD drivers installed.
Gotchas: If a disk is mounted in the drive, it will fail to eject. Mounted CD/DVD's must be manually ejected.
