I just installed two identical optical drives in my MDD, and when I go up to
the menu and click on "eject" the machine only recognizes one drive (because
they're both identical) How can I have control over each one individually? how
can I make the hdd see them differently? Jeff

I have the exact same model as you Jeff except I'm running Tiger and did the
dual optical drive upgrade a year ago.
I'm pretty sure how I got both open/close buttons appearing up on the main menu
was to go into system prefs and click on the CD/DVD icon and select whether you
want both the eject keys to appear.
I'm not in front of my MDD at the moment so I am going by memory but I do
remember that I had to get the jumpers set right before this worked. I didn't
touch the original superdrive that was already installed in the top slot just
the newer second one ( also a Pioneer but a 115 I think ).
Of course your computer has to recognize both optical drives before it presents
this option to you.
