My DP450 won't eject CD's (from the DVD-RAM drive) I press eject on the keyboard, the Finder unmounts it and the drive never opens... Restarting is the only cure. This behavior began from 10.2.5 onwards...is there a way to eject CDs from the Terminal?

There is if you have fink installed. There is a command called "eject" ... basically either system should eject the media once it is unmounted. In any case the command:

eject -v -f /dev/diskwhatever

should give you some verbose output as to why it isn't working.
-DU-...etc...
