Thanks to all.

I though powering down and rebooting would unlock the drive. Button timing 
and rate would be important because the button opens and closes tray.

I have also been caught with the tray closing on the half lifted disk.

Some years ago I had a tray open with the disk spinning flat out, that was 
fun.

All in all it's annoying
