   The solenoid mechansim is in there, just up and out of sight... a
small flashlight will aid in finding the linkage... then you (push
it up?) I haven't done this in a while .

  The other good way is to simply power up the drive, press 'LOAD'
out, and wait for it to stabilze, open the door, remove the pack,
close the door and power down. Assumes you have mains power
available, natch......

  Cheers
