It's the 'eject' from Jeff Tranter. tranter@pobox.com
A short browse through the code I saw he's using generic (sg.h). He
distingushes between cdrom eject and scsi eject, as far as I can

I made a test with the newer sony MO, the only message on the console
was: 'Device not ready', the HP-MO instead says nothing.
