Dead ZIP Drive

I may have a dead zip drive, the light stays on it now, no matter what. I have a disk in there that needs to be ejected, but is not seen by the Hog. Any suggestions. Also, since there is a drive in there it seems that boot times have gotten really long.

First how do I eject a stuck disk. Second, I guess I need to replace the ZIP.

Will any Zip 250 work, or does High End stock some?

    Most (all?) of the Zip drives have an emergency eject mechanism available. You usually activate it using a straightened paperclip pushed into a hole in the drive mechanism.
