You could try issuing a "Get Event/Status Notification" CDB with a
Notification Class Request of "Media." CDB of:
4A 01 00 00 10 00 00 00 08 00
The Door or Tray Open bit (bit 0 of byte 5) should be 1 if the tray is open.
I suppose there are some drives out there that do not support this
notification class (Media), or perhaps not support it properly. A quick
test on two devices here shows proper behavior. Your mileage may vary.
