[comp.sys.mac] Sick Mac Can't Spit Out Disk

eravin@dasys1.UUCP (Ed Ravin) (08/24/87)

My almost-original Mac (well, I did have someone up it to 512k) is no
longer able to spit out the disk when the time comes.  The drive makes the
usual noises, I see the disk lifting up, but it never gets ejected.
Instead, the system immediately senses the presence of a disk in the drive
and thinks I've just re-inserted a disk.  The only way to pull the disk out
was the old paper-clip into the little hole business (also known as the
Emergency Manual Override).

Has this ever happened to anyone?  Can it be easily fixed?  Can I fix it
myself?  Please email responses, as I don't check this newsgroup
regularly...
