- Eject allows removable media (typically a CD-ROM, floppy disk, tape
- drive, or JAZ or ZIP disk) to be ejected under software control. The
- command can also control some multi-disc CD-ROM changers, the
- auto-eject feature supported by some devices, and close the disc tray
- of some CD-ROM drives.
-
- See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to compile and install
- the program.
-
- The following devices and configurations are known to work with eject:
-
- Devices:
- - 1GB and 2GB SCSI IOMEGA JAZ drives
- - Apple PowerMac floppy drive
- - HP1534 SCSI DAT tape drive
- - IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM
- - IDE/ATAPI IOMEGA 100MB ZIP drive
- - IDE/ATAPI LS120 120MB floppy drive
- - Parallel port IOMEGA 100MB ZIP drive
- - SCSI CD-R drive
- - SCSI CD-ROM
- - SCSI MO Drive
- - Sun SPARC floppy drive
- - Fujitsu M2512A magneto-optical disk drive (SCSI)
-
- Kernels:
- - 2.0.36 (and earlier 2.0.x)
- - 2.1.132 (and earlier 2.1.x)
- - 2.2.16 (and earlier 2.2.x)
- - 2.4.4 (and earlier 2.4.x)
- - 2.6.11 (and earlier 2.6.x)
- - with both the IDE, SCSI, and IDE SCSI emulation kernel drivers
-
- Platforms:
- - Intel (Red Hat)
- - SPARC
- - PowerPC
- - DEC Alpha
-
- It is loosely based on the SunOS eject command.
-
- If you have any problems or suggestions, drop me a line. I'm
- particularly interested in hearing if it does or doesn't work with
- media other than CD-ROM or when running Linux on non-Intel machines.
-
- Version 2.0 is mostly a rewrite of version 1.5 to clean up the source
- and add a number of new features (and take out some useless ones).
- Many thanks to the beta testers for version 2.0:
