    With all this discussion about supposedly being able to write to
write-protected disks, I just thought I'd get my $.02 in. According to what
I've heard from various techs, there's a mechanical thingamabob in the drive
that senses the presence of the write protect tab (you can see it if you look
inside the drive). It's connected to a switch which shuts off the write
current to the heads. So there's just no way for the drive to write to the
disk. The system can be fooled into thinking it can but it still won't be able
to do so.
