8.19 Eject Removable Media (FN 46h)

This function shall eject media from the specified device. If a fixed disk (non-removable device) supports the
media locking and ejecting interface subset, this function shall always return with "Volume Not Removable" (i.e.,
CF = 1 and AH = B2h). An attempt to eject media locked in a device shall return with "Media Locked In Device"
(i.e., CF 1 and AH = B1h). Actual ejection shall be implementation dependent, but system software that issues or
observes this function should flush any buffers it is holding. If this function is issued for a device without media
the request shall be returned with "No Media In Device" (i.e., CF = 1b and AH = 31h). If this call is issued to an
unlocked removable media device that has media present, an INT 15h, FN 52h (removable media eject) shall be
issued to determine if eject removable media may proceed with the ejection request. If INT 15h returns an error,
the ejection request shall be rejected. If the ejection request is accepted, followed by an unrecoverable error, this
function shall return with "Valid Eject Request Failed" (i.e., CF = 1b and AH = B5h).
