Interesting question, however I installed an application
by a customer recently and the setup program had an option
to eject the CD.

The Customer has 2 CD drives and the eject process ejected
the other closed CD ROM drive (heh heh) :)

Question: How to tell which drive you are in and relate it
the the drive you are ejecting...
