fejj: The eject button works if the hardware isn’t broken. Unfortunately an alarmingly large number of CD drives are broken in this respect and don’t send the right signal over the IDE bus. It was removed a long time ago because most drives didn’t work, but this recent thread on the HAL list reintroduced the feature. In even the limited testing done by people on the list, it didn’t work for at least one drive. Having the feature in there is a good idea. Making it the only way to unmount/eject the CD isn’t.
