Does anyone out there know where I could find some software to
write protect a hard drive in a MAC SE? Or is there a trick in
the hardware to accomplish the same. I would appreciate it much!
Thanks in advance,
Mike Fatino

It lets you lock and unlock unmountable volumes, and from what I've seen, it seems to work correctly and not cause things to crash. Of course, since there's no hardware write protection, I suppose an errant program could still manage to write garbage to the disk, but the DA should be effective otherwise. I think I got it off of comp.binaries.mac a short time ago, so it may be in the archives. If not, let me know and I can mail it to those who are interested. -- Steve Baumgarten | "New York... when civilization falls apart, Davis Polk & Wardwell | remember, we were way ahead of you." {uunet,cmcl2}!esquire!sbb | - David Letterman

Choose "custom" partition and then select the partition and "lock" Note that this is a soft lock and doesn't keep determined software from writing on it anyway. > >Thanks in advance, >Mike Fatino > _______ ____________ > / _____/ /____ ____/ Mike Fatino > / /___ / / fatino@wizdom.UUCP > /___ / / / uunet!wizdom!fatino > _____/ / ____/ /____ >/______/ /___________/ Software Innovations Inc., Kansas City > >Dis claim her: Funny how that works!

In a previous message Stephen Baumgarten writes that DiskLock was recently posted on comp.binaries.mac. I am unable to locate this utility from CMU. Would someone please send me a copy at dm2w@andrew.cmu.edu Thanks in advance, Doug Meade dm2w@andrew.cmu.edu
