The eject command accepts just the device name without a prefix, and prepends "/dev/" as necessary. Specifically from man eject(1): SYNOPSIS eject [-fnv] device DESCRIPTION eject is a program to eject removable media from drive. The device is a removable drive name such as cd0, matcd0, mcd0, scd0, wcd0 or od0. eject unmounts the device if it was mounted brefore ejecting. Given that it says "removable drive name such as ..." I assumed that those listed were just examples, and that any ejectable media should be programatically ejectable. My interpretation of the man page may have been incorrect, or eject might not support Zip drives? Dave
