CD Tray batch file 1 to open 1 to close

[Tim]

Does any one know of a batch file to open the CD tray?
To close it there after?

I want a batch to do so without going into the other room with the KVM
switch.

Windows XP/ME/Vista all


Any help appreciated.

Here's some assembler:


title 'EJECTCD'
;; 06/08/2004 recreate src
..radix 16
code segment byte public 'CODE'
assume cs:code,ds:code
org 100h
top:

MOV dx,offset strin
mov di,dx
mov ax,3d21h
int 21
jb badexit
mov bx,ax
mov cx,1
mov byte ptr [di],0
mov ax,4403h
int 21
jnb goodexit
mov byte ptr [di],5
mov ax,4403h
int 21
jc badexit
goodexit: mov al,0h
badexit: mov ah,4Ch
int 21
strin DB '/D:MSCD000',0

Presumably the close function is

There's a working example using VBScript at

but to be honest I prefer a tiny free third-party utility.
