I use a Microsoft Office Keyboard with my G4 Quicksilver. It has no eject
key but although I have overcome this problem with OS X there is still a
problem with OS 9.


On OS X I have an eject icon on the menu bar but sometimes I still need to
boot in OS 9 (to use Cubasis VST 2.0). How can I assign a function key to
load-eject CDs?

Ejecting is no problem (dustbin) but loading is. Any solutions?

I can't fully remember but holding down one of the right-hand F keys
for several seconds is supposed to do it. Dunno if it's F12 or F15 or
what. Try 'em all I guess.

Option + click on the cd, "Eject CD"

In OS 9 set up a function key with "Eject CD" in Keyboard control panel.


Kind Regards,
Nathaniel

I believe it is F12. Nice job! :)
