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
does
not
prevent
loss
of
data
from
accidents
such
as
coffee
spills,
fires
and
nuclear
holocausts.
