if i remeber correctly there is a package that does this very thing.
check out the "with" command in comp.sources.unix volume 13.  it works
for floppies, tapes and any other device/file that you want controlled
access to.

(comp.sources.unix archives are available on uunet and many other
places...  let me know if you need help getting it.  if it is not too
long i can probably send you a copy of it...)
