Here's some Applescript that will do that: tell application "Terminal" to do script "drutil tray open && exit" If you put this script file in ~/Library/Scripts, then you could get to it by the Scripts menu. (If that's not in your menu, it lives in the same CoreServices directory I mentioned earlier.) Just in case "drutil" starts ejecting your internal drive, it looks like you can add a "-drive firewire" option to the command and target your Firewire (or USB, as appropriate) drive.
