I Just upgraded to a G5 and had to switch from an internal CDRW to a external. When I had the second drive in my G4 I was able to press option + eject to open / close my second drive. Is there a way to get this to work with my Lacie 52x32x52 CDRW? Thanks

I feel like that should work . . . is the eject menu in the menu bar? Maybe apple found a way to have it not be displayed on G5's since they only hold one internal drive. I hope not b/c that would be dumb. Anyway if the menu is there I would expect option eject to work (or on my logitech its option f12).

No, it's not you. It's the OS.

Without some scripting you can't get opt-eject to eject the external FW drive. It sucks, I know.

Take a look in /system/library/core services/menu extras. drag eject.menu to the menu bar with the others. and see what that get's you.
to remove it, command drag it off the bar.

nope putting the eject menu in the bar does nothing for the external drive just the internal but thanks
