I don't want to set it, I want to turn it off.

I recently bought a used 2150S with no docs, which reads everything I
throw in it, but won't write a byte. The people who sold it to me said
they tested it out, so I'll assume that it functions OK. Since I
don't have a descriptions of any jumpers outside of SCSI ID settings,
I have no idea if the drive migh be set read-only.

Is this possible? If so, can I turn it off? The drive is under a
warranty but it'll be a pain to send it back and I want to try this
avenue first.

Thanks for any help.
