| Why not disable the floppy with a keyed switch? Better still, just
| disable the write enable switch (so the disk can't be written to).
This was suggested before, yet seemingly ignored. It struck me as
a simple, very workable system. But, as it was a *hardware*
solution, requiring the use of such dangerous tools as
screwdrivers, etc, I suspect many netlanders would pass over
it as evil magic:-)
Myself, I regard anything written in Cobol, RPG, Basic,
APL or in a FAT Table such as incantations of the chief fireman himself.
Guess thats what makes life interesting.
