  17. I have a floppy disc entombed in my Station running 3.0 curtesy of  
  18. SoftPC 2.0. Can someone tell me how to get it out?

  23. I tried to respond via E-mail, but it bounced.
  24. I had the EXACT same problem earlier this month.  Here's my solution:
  25.     Get to the ROM monitor by pressing the ~ key (without  
  26. pressing Shift) while holding     down the Command bar (hold down both  
  27. Command keys on keyboards that have     two). When you see the "nmi>"  
  28. prompt, type monitor.
  29.  
  30.     At the "NeXT>" prompt, type ef for eject floppy.  Once you  
  31. get your diskette back,     type c for continue.
  32.  
  33.     NOTE:  Your floppy drive has a small hole next to it.   
  34. Shoving the end of a paper clip     into this hole may force the  
  35. diskette to be ejected (it didn't for me, but that's what the     hole  
  36. is there for).
