I don't want to start a big argument about this but...
Sure, the ST's hardware can (you say it) be bypassed. But how about
the drive's hardware? Drives too, or should I say: primarily, have
hardware that prevents writing to a write-protected disk. It's not
the diskcontroller that does all the work..
