Hello! We are using the new FreeBSD 3.0 Release with a parallel port Zip drive. Everything works fine, but we are looking for a way to eject the Zip medium automatically. We tried to use "cdcontrol -f /dev/da0 eject" (or /dev/da0s4) without result. (cdcontrol status gives some messages). The question is whether we make something wrong and there is another "built in" way to eject a medium or if there is a external tool like ziptool for Linux (ejecting and en/disable of the write protection), which isnīt working with FreeBSD.
