Eject CDs From Any Application With EjectDisk 3.1.1
Beyond Midnight Software has released an update to its ejection utility EjectDisk. The new version, 3.1.1, improves SCSI support and adds USB support. According to Beyond Midnight Software:

EjectDisk makes ejecting disk from your computer a breeze. While working in any application you can eject most disks with a single keystroke. No more having to switch back to the Finder to eject the disk, and no more reaching for the mouse to drag the disk icon to the trash. EjectDisk supports most types of disks, and allows great flexibility in setting up the key combinations used to eject disks.

Optionally, EjectDisk can also eject any CDs still in the CD-ROM drive when the computer is shut down.

What is new in EjectDisk 3.1.1?

EjectDisk 3.1.1 adds support for the Apple USB floppy drive. EjectDisk 3.1.1 also makes the scanning for SCSI devices optional (EjectDisk 3.1 attempted determine this automatically, but could get it wrong in certain situations).
