I dug my 128K/MacPlus out of stoage yesterday. It's been instorage since Dec 2006. Was in good working order when stored.

Good news: Boots, screen is good, battery is fine.

Bad news: Internal drive doesn't eject nor does my external 800K floppy drive.

I cleaned them per this:

They are snappy and seem to funtion corrcetly. However, none of them will eject a floppy disk. I have to use a paper clip to get the disks out. I don't hear any eject noise.

What are my next steps?
