[comp.virus] Write-protecting 3.5 inch disks

AZAVATONE@uunet.UU.NET (02/08/91)

    Write protecting 3.5 inchers. (disks) Very simple.  All you need
is a pocket knife or a push pin.  Pry up on the corner of the disk
with the write protect tab till you hear a snap.  Then, with the knife
or whatever, push out the write protect tab.  Finally if the edge of
the disk is still seperated, squeeze it untill it snaps togeather
again. Viola!  Write protected disk.  However, if you want to be able
to write to it again, place a small strip of tape (even scotch tape)
across the back of the write protect hole and write to your heart's
content.  I know this works for the mac.
