The same program should work for both Apple 3.5 and UniDisk 3.5 drives
as they both use the same Smartport eject command. It should also work
for removable SCSI devices connected to an Apple SCSI card (Rev C only
as Revs A & B had the format command where the 3.5" drives had the eject
command!) or an Apple HS SCSI card.
 
I wrote a tiny little one to eject disks from my 3.5" disk connected to
a UDC controller - at the time I was using a Mac drive with no eject
button.
