10.3: Eject your external CD drive from the keyboard
Authored by: gopes on Mar 17, '04 11:22:34AM

In the second line, there should be a period before diskCheck for it to work properly....
Thanks for this! This had bugged me for a while, but not enough to do anything about it....

In 10.2 (prior to 10.2.6) you could open/close the second drive with Option-Eject. Why this went away is a mystery to me.

10.3: Eject your external CD drive from the keyboard

This looks like a great AppleScript! However, when I run it, it ejects BOTH my external AND internal drives. Does anybody know how to modify this script so it only ejects the EXTERNAL drive?

Thanks,
Scott

Yeah, sorry about that folks, it should read ".discCheck" as the comment above suggests.

Perhaps rob can spare a mo' and edit it for all those poor souls that don't read the comments...:)
