I downloaded a tool called 'ziptool' that does this for my zip drive. 
Looking at the man page it says it's a "Tool for Iomega JAZ and ZIP," so
maybe this is what you're looking for.  Check out:

There's no reference to JAZ drives in the html page, but the man page
definitely does and I just looked at the README file and when I
installed ziptool, I have a link to another tool called jaztool.  I've
just gotten it and and all I've used it for up to this point is to eject
my disk, which works.  Check it out.
