Rising Eagle, Please try the man pages for eject by executing "man eject" in the terminal. There is an option to lock the eject button on a cd-rom. This option might meet your needs until a feature in the disk utility can be implemented.
-i on|1|off|0 This option controls locking of the hardware eject button. When enabled, the drive will not be ejected when the button is pressed. This is useful when you are carrying a laptop in a bag or case and don't want it to eject if the button is inadvertently pressed. Will also see if this bug is logged upstream.
