Re: [NTLK] PC Card Eject Button Broken

I had a PDA years ago where the card eject button was
no longer functioning. It was some plastic thingy that
broke and was not repairable. What I did was create a
"pull-tab" out of celophane packing tape and taped it
to the card. This way, I could push in the card, fold
the pull-tab along the top of the card into the slot.
When I wanted to "eject" the card, I would pull out
the celophane tab and yank the card out. Worked great
for years!
