I've checked all around, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to get my IBM Microdrive out of the Axim. Smaller Type II cards with a "lip" can be pulled out, but what about my MD?
Be VERY careful removing that Microdrive, matter of fact IBM does NOT recommend using the microdrive in any CF device that doesn't have an eject mechanism. I ruined one of my microdrive's in my BE-300 (no cf eject) by pulling it out, and there is a cutout that lets you actually pull out the card on the BE. When I got my replacement Microdrive, I just put a piece of scotch tape going from top, off of the drive a little bit, then to bottom, and it made a little tab I could pull the drive out with so I don't put vertical pressure on the drive squeezing down on it to get a grip to slide it out..

I attached a plastic strip on the back of my MicroDrive. It has a one inch plastic tab on the top and I use that to remove the drive from the slot. I got the strips (they have one sticky side) with another CF card I got somewhere along the way and it works great! Otherwise, I'd probably be looking at using some fine needle nose pliers, a pair of tweezers or just leaving it in forever.
