[Ham-Computers] Not Write Protected

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Despite getting a write protect error, I discovered I had in reality hit the
maximum number of file limit. Which happens to be 263. There was over 17 Meg
free, but it made no difference. Once I removed a single file, it let me write
to the disk. But not a second time! I ran into this on a 1.44 Meg diskette too,
but the limit is about 126 aprox.	
	
Hence, this zip disk never was write protected. 	
	
Now it seems that once upon a time some zip disks did allow for manual write
protection, but that was changed to software protection only. I do not know when
this took place, but somewhere around 1997-1998.	
	
Which explains why I remember my grandson figuring out what to do to write
protect one of these and why I can not find any means to do it on the disk in
question. They be different!
