I seem to recall that DEC's RL02 drives have write protect buttons on them. Maybe they're ahead of there time. ;-) ---- Mark Schaffer BITNET: 16448591@VUVAXCOM Villanova University UUCP: ...{ihnp4!psuvax1,burdvax,cbmvax,pyrnj,bpa} (Go Wildcats!) !vu-vlsi!excalibur!164485913 "Look, It's Bicycle Repair Man!
