This one wasn't so simple (believe me, that was the first thing I
wanted to do, but doing it took wayyyy more work than it had on older
Mac models). It was one of those blue-silver cases with the handles at
all four corners, which had a door in front of the drive but also had
a caddy for the disk. I don't remember the exact steps (the event
happened in Feb 2000), IIRC using the paper clip and getting the door
open were mutually exclusive.
