That probably would have been my next question. Right now I
can't get it to slide out the drive tray under any circumstances: The
button with the triangle over the line (standard CD open/close symbol)
on the front of the box yeilds no result. I suppose that it could be
locked (by default, since I've tried pressing the button really soon
after power on). I haven't been able to find a software button to do
it.
Just for grins I tried holding C while it booted. No
difference. (I get a chord played rather than what I'd call a ding or
dong.) Might you know how to ask the OS whether it believes that it
has a CD?
