Tried holding down mouse button, doesn't work. Also, the eject button was removed from the optical drives in the Minis (well, the PPC Minis as far as I know). Seriously....the little PCB is there, but no button. After much Googling, the only option is to unscrew the top of the optical drive and remove the disk, which I'm not going to do because it's going to screw me out of my AppleCare.
Beg/scrounge/steal one of those laptop IDE to 3.5" IDE adapters. They cost about $10 from internet sellers, if necessary. Hook up the Mini's optical drive to any old Mac or PC that has any software that will perform software eject of a CD/DVD. Job done, without voiding warranty.
