combodrives and superdrives

I have a dual g4 867. It came stock with the combo drive and as i am sure you all know there is a second bay in it. I am wanting to put in a superdrive. Here is my question. the only eject button is on the keyboard. if i put in a superdrive and keep the combodrive how do i eject the other drive?

i believe one uses the option or apple key + eject on the KB to pop the second drive open. i'm currently on a TiBook and i'm not sure which but that's how it works i believe.

Eject menu item.

Do a find for eject.menu.

double click on it.

This will put an eject symbol iin your menu. If you have several drives they should be listed in the menu. There's probably a better way to activate the menu item, but this will work.

the path is:
