WRITE-PROTECT NOTCH: A write-protect notch allows information to be written
to or read from a diskette.
•
If this notch is covered, information can only be read FROM the diskette.
An example is the master diskettes for the KAYPRO programs. They have
no write-protect notches so that you can't inadvertently write onto them.
•
If you want to write information to a diskette, don't cover its write-protect
notch.
•
When you want to ensure that you do not accidently erase stored informa-
tion, cover the write-protect notch with the tabs provided with new diskettes.
