My Plextor 32x scsi doesn't open the tray either, and so does the
Yamaha 4416s and also an older atapi drive on a different machine. I
find this quite annoying, if there's nothing inside what prevents
opening the tray? Sometimes I'm so lazy that even leaning to reach the
eject button is bad, but I've survived so far :-)
