OAK SCSI 4, User Manual

Page: 25 / 54

*WProt
Write protects (or unprotects) a given SCSI drive.
Syntax
*WProt <Drive number> [U]
Parameters
<Drive number> the SCSI winchester drive number (4 to 7) of the
drive to be write protected (or unprotected)
[ U ] if the U is included as a parameter, the drive is unprotected.
Use
Write protects (or unprotects) SCSI drive <Drive number>.
The
protect state is stored in eeprom. The use of this command can be
locked out with the format/configure utility, and if this has been done,
a `write protect locked' error will result if you try changing the
protection on a locked drive. This only protects from SCSI filing
system operations, not writes performed with low level SWIs. This
command may be useful in a classroom situation, where students need
access to information on the winchester, but you do not want the
information to be altered either accidentally or otherwise.
Example
