Same for Amiga floppies, and other platforms too.  I'm sure there are
platforms where both types can be present.  Shoudln't the be the
responsibility of the driver to figure out what the hardware is capable
of, and not hard-coded user-space programs?

On the whole the eject program is nice, though. One good addition would
be to allow it to accept a mount point as an argument, so one could say
"eject /mnt" and have it eject the floppy or disk or whaveter was
mounted there.
