Don't know if anyone here knows, but might as well throw it at the feet of everyone...
Recently threw in an NEC 3540A into my dual proc G4 MDD. Things work ok sometimes, but randomly it seems, the optical drives or maybe the ata 33 bus gets messed up. I hit eject for either the stock combo drive or the NEC, and nothing happens. I click on the disc that should have been ejected, and it disappears. From then on, hitting eject will bring up the fancy eject symbol, but nothing happens. When I try to eject the other drive, same thing happens. It seems like it might be if the drive is idle, this happens? Could it be a power issue? I have a Radeon 9800 sharing power with the drive. I've flashed the firmware from 1.0.1 to 1.0.3, booted from a clean install, and this still happens 2-3 times a day.
If anyone has a clue, help would be great. Thanks!
