How does the system knows, which diskette (or virutal diskette, such as a MacServe volume), is ejectable or write protected? is there any way to protect a diskette from ejecting (except for the emergency exit) and/or writing in software? Soloutions that apple wouldnt like, are acceptable... AdvThanksance O.S.

There is a bit in the flags that occur just before the drive queue entry that tells if the volume is ejectable. The Finder determines if a volume is write protected by doing a status call to the driver for that volume. See the chapter on the disk driver in inside Macintosh. Tim Smith
