    If you have a scsi-zip, you might want to test a patch I posted to this list
    some days ago. It adds a scsi eject-ioctl. It should work with mo/zip, even
    tapes (if they support this feature).

    You can download the (small) patch at:
    http://members.xoom.com/mydebs/kernel/scsi_removable.patch-2.3.39

    After applying the patch, you should try:
    $ eject /dev/sd? (whatever id your scsi-zip is).
