Hello all...

I have what may be an embarrassingly simple/stupid question. I am trying to temporarily take the SuperDrive out of my Dual 2 PowerMac G5 and mount it in an external duplicator. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to take that optical drive out...

I take off the aluminum cover, remove the plastic.... i see the two grey plastic levers under the superdrive... but... what next?? Does anyone have any experience w/ this? Any service/tech manuals anywhere? I couldn't find anything on google....

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
