A collegue has an old Mac 512K (upgraded from a 128K)
which has recently developed a problem in ejecting
floppy disks. Both his internal and external floppy
drives no longer eject disks, but he is still able to
by sticking a paper clip in the manual ejct hole. He
says that he hears a mechanical noise when the Mac is
"trying" to eject the disks.

Does anyone have an idea what has happened? Is it coincidental
that both internal and external drives have malfunctioned at the
same time?
Any information will be gratefully received, Thanks!
