Scott,
  If you're writing under GS/OS, the answer is easily found to be
one of the sub calls of the DControlGS call, if memory serves.
But, under ProDOS 8, I think you'd have to know some details specific
to your RAMFast card, as I don't believe ProDOS 8 or the SmartPort
offers a standardized eject call. You might even have to know
SCSI stuff.
