I just received a new Microsoft Office Keyboard and Wireless Intellimouse Explorer Mouse Special Edition bundle as a gift. Very neat products but no way to access my Superdrive? I can't open it without a eject key? There doesn't seem to be a way to eject under osx or os9. I called microsoft no help. I checked there website no help? I was excited with the great software and all the features. Guess I will need to return this gift.... : (

Any help or suggestions?

The Microsoft Office keyboard doesn't have Mac drivers. So I suggest you stick with the Apple Pro Keyboard.
In vino veritas.

Thank you for the response but wrong answer. These drivers have been available for Mac OS 9 & Mac OS 10.1 for a while now...
