- UnLoad v1.1
-
- A small program to Load/Unload SCSI devices using the generic SCSI device.
-
- I made this tool because of three reasons:
- - the location of my CD-ROM on my desk so i have to strech my arm to reach
- the load/eject button (call it lazyness).
- - I wanted to eject my SyQuest drive by software.
- - I wanted to practice some SCSI programming.
-
- This tool may only be usefull for those who have a SCSI device which supports
- automatic loading (like the Toshiba(tm) XM3601 CD-ROM and some CD-Recorders).
- But it might also be usefull if you own a SyQuest(TM) or a ZIP drive and
- want to eject a medium within a shell-script.
-
- To build the program enter 'make' and 'make install' as root. Check the
- MakeFile to be sure it puts the binarys and manpages where you want them.
-
- I take no responsibility for any damage caused by the use of this program.
- !! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK !!
- Note: Mounted devices *should* not eject. Neighter my XM3601 CD-ROM nor
- my SyQuest SQ3270S v1.22 do eject a mounted medium !
- But don't count on this.
