Not in the main distribution, but in the past I got both http://www.hoopyfrood.net/DevEject and http://www.heise.de/ct/03/16/links/208.shtml to work with minor modifications...

Igor Thanks Igor - I also just found out that MicroSoft provides a command line utility for their device manager called devcon and it seems to work for me, so no hurry on the package (but I'm sure the package would be better :-) - Tom -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
