C can't do this, you need C++ (which was in fact designed around this
specific purpose). Check any standard graduate text for CD ejecting
theory and research outcomes.

Yes, but not here. Ask in a group that discusses your particular OS.

<OT>

int main(void)
{
t3d_open_CD_TRAY();
return(0);
}
/* unfortunately the contents of particular t3d function do not yet
exist. If it did the function could also have been called using
atleast folllowing alias names:
- t3d_environment_OPEN_n_CD_DRIVE
- t3d_environment_EJECT_n_CD_DRIVE
- t3d_environment_EJECT_CD();
- t3d_avaa_CD_ASEMA(); //Finnish example
- t3d_öppna_CD_LUCKAN //Swedish example
- t3d_remove_CD_DISC

My DS-6000 will do it with:

i = i++;

However, this doesn't work on my DS-6100.

Your system may require something else entirely.

Sure. The following code shows how to do a raw CD player for DOS.
http://my.execpc.com/CE/AC/geezer/software/
"play audio CD without MSCDEX"
http://my.execpc.com/CE/AC/geezer/software/cdplay.c

You didn't say Linux or Windows... Besides, it shows you _everything_
you'll ever need to program a CD player.

My DS-6000 doesn't run DOS, Linux, or Windows. Nor does it have anything
called "ATAPI", or "Interrupt 19".

You should really upgrade to the DS 9000. The 6000 is ancient
history these days.

What complete and utter nonsense!

C++ cannot eject CD drives. It can only eject C++D drives!

But I've heard that I would need to change all of my "a[i] = i++" statements
to "a[i++] = i" to keep them working.

I don't know the DS 9000 (or 6000) but you surely want to change all of
your "a[i] = i++" statements to "(++i)[a] = i" to take advantage of pre
increment *and* pre indexing :) <== smiley noting I'm only joking
