The eMac keyboard has a specific key for opening the CD/DVD tray - how can I program a function key to do this so I can use an ordinary USB keyboard from another Mac or PC?
I picked up the eMac at an auction with no keyboard so other than forcing the DVD tray open I can't get it to open and put a system disk in.
