Setting the Diskette Write-Protect Switch
The diskette write-protect switch controls whether you can write information to a
diskette using a diskette drive. The ability to prevent writing to a diskette is
particularly useful if you are concerned about the security of information that can
be obtained through a network.
Note: This switch does not affect the ability to read information from a diskette.
