You mean a physical "eject" button on a drive and not a software one on a desktop? The later is doing just that. AFAIK some drives are able to generate an interrupt if you are pushing that real button but very far from all or even a majority. If you would get that working with only _some_ drives then _that_ would be so confusing... Michal
