I just got a second superdrive for my G4 (dual 1.4). And the eject button on the keyboard only opens the newer (lower drive bay) drive. I can't figure out how to open the upper drive so that I can dupe disks. The eject menu bar doesn't work anymore either.

Have you tried pressing "alt" and Eject?

eject + Option(alt) should eject the second drive.

An 'eject' icon should also appear in the menu bar... allowing you to eject either drive at will...

Peace,

Marc

I tried all those. But it just took a couple restarts for the system to settle. Now the eject menu works again showing both drives and the option eject works smooth also.
