Try just holding it down.  After about 10-15 seconds it should try to eject.

        If I remember correctly, pressing the eject button in a certain
sequence on
        a C1539 DDS tape drive caused a stuck tape to eject. Does anyone
remember
        the actual sequence?

        Thanks,
        Jeff
