Open an OS/2 window and type EJECT .
The OS2 drivers *deliberately* disable the eject button on the ZIP
drive. You have to give a *software* EJECT command. The one from the
OS/2 commandline should always work. Clicking the drive icon and
selecting eject from the menu may or may not work (It seems to be
version dependent).

To make things even sillier, some of the IOMEGA utilities can mess this
up.
