Hello, Michael!
Like many of the list know, I am trying to configure my system to
support SCSI ZIP.
Take a look to http://www.torque.net/zip.html
I suppose you've read the ZIP mini-howto:
4.3. Ejecting a disk
You can only eject a disk when it is dismounted. Currently, there is
no Linux command to eject the disk, so you must press the button on
the front of the drive to eject the disk.
Linux ensures that all data have been written to the disk before it is
unlocked.
Watch for a new ZIP tools program for Linux which will support some of
Iomega's special features (including software controlled ejection and
write protection) on both the SCSI and parallel versions of the drive.
Hope this helps!
Carlos.
