Who was the original poster? I have a utility that I downloaded
someplace for controlling the Zip drive. It lets you set the write
protect, amoung other things.
There is not a tab like on 3.5" floppies. It's set by a program,
which must write something to the disk telling the hardware to write
protect it.
