I have an old G4 iMac that runs OS 9.2. I lost the original keyboard that comes with it, so I use the new aluminum keyboard. None of the function keys work, but I can live with that. However, the eject key doesn't work either, so the only way to open the tray is to eject a disc that's already in there or restart the computer with the mouse button held down. So if I close the tray without a disc in there, the only way to get it out is to restart. I think there was a keyboard shortcut that opens the tray, but I can't remember it. Can someone either tell me that shortcut or tell me how to open the tray?

Thanks,
- Stephen

A G4? Why aren't you running OS X?

Anyway, in OS 9, there should be a control strip eject module.
