It turns out that the presence/absence of an eject button is not sufficent

Probably the device is out of version range (the 3rd and 4th numbers).
Change the 4th number in the entry to 0x9999 and see if that works, but
don't hold your breath. Tempermental is the word of the day here.
0x9999 basically translates the entry to mean 'accept all revisions after
rev 1.0' -- it's highly _not_ recomended, but possible to do.
