In my old 512KE I used to take a playing card, or anything of that size and
rigidness and slide it either under or over the disk while using a paperclip
to give the disk a little shove.  This worked all the time, though it was not
always fast, nor easy.  It was more like picking a lock, have to do every
thing by feel and you have never done anything like it before.  But it is
probably easier than taking the disk drive appart, as that would have to be
a REAL exersize...
