Emergency Disk Eject

The PowerBook must be powered on for normal disk ejection from the Zip

drive. Never use force to remove a disk from the VST Zip Drive. If you must

remove a Zip disk from the drive when power is not available, carefully

push a fully straightened paper clip into the emergency eject hole located

on the eject button (see illustration). Use care when using this method,

excessive force or a bent paper clip may cause damage to your Zip drive.

Caution: Use the emergency disk eject procedure

only when the laptop is without power. Do not

use excessive force to remove a Zip disk from the drive.

If the disk does not eject immediately, repeat the emergency

disk eject procedure as described above.
