Download and unzip 0316-208.zip. When you copy DevEject.exe to a folder in your PATH, typing deveject /? returns:

Usage: deveject.exe -EjectDrive:<Drive>|-EjectName:<Name>|-EjectId:<DeviceId> [-v] [-Debug]

NOTE: The switches are case sensitive.

When you type deveject, the command lists the <Name> and <DeviceId> of the hardware it 'thinks' it can eject, like:

DevEject 1.0  2003 c't/Matthias Withopf

When I typed deveject -EjectName:"USB Mass Storage Device" or deveject -EjectId:"USB\VID_413C&PID_9001\5&252D5D84&0&4", I received:
