     I'm not sure our problems are completely the same, but we had a problem
with a mac that was similar.  The disk would eject just fine (i.e., proper
speed, sound, etc.); it would just get stuck half way out.
     We opened the mac, took out the disk drive and looked at it for an hour
or so.  It turned out that one of the pins that holds the disk in place was
a little bent.  For us, it was the one on the left side when looking front
to back.  If you look at a disk, you'll see a half-circle on the left and
right sides of the disk near the shutter.  Those are the places where the
pin in question grabs on.  We just bent the pin out a little bit and it started
ejecting fine.  You DO NOT have to disassemble the drive; you just have to
remove it's supporting bracket.
     If anybody can't figure it out, and wants a more thorough description,
let me know.
