There's a wee little hole on the front of the case, right where you'd expect
to find the eject button on a PeeCee; Take a bent paperclip (available from
all handy copies of `MS Word' B-). Pushing it through the little
hole will cause the disk to be spat out; It's a *manual* job, so you'll
have to push quite hard as you're replacing the force of the motor.

Other than that, try:

  $ eject /dev/fd0

If it's available from your shell. (Probably needs root depending on
the default permissions).
