  OK.  The online docs aren't terribly clear about this.  They talk about
register 0x19 (simple enough to set to 1) and then mention that you
can't disable the interrupt once you've enabled it.  There's no mention
of this interrupt guaranteeing reset.

...or a reset, since I believe that you can play with the tray all you
want after the reset takes place.
