Copy Protection
A tab on the 3.5" diskette is used for protection of data. This is a
mechanical method of protecting the disk from additions, deletions and
alterations of existing data.
The figure below shows a diskette with the write protect tab. To enable
write protection, slide the tab toward the outermost position so that you
can see through the write protect hole. To disable write protection,
slide the tab in the opposite direction so that the hole is covered.
Note that write protection aces not prevent loss of data from accidents
such as coffee spills, fires and nuclear holocausts.
