Hi Frank,
if you can live with the space constraint of a floppy disk
this is the perfect solution and you should use it.
But if for any reason you cannot use a floppy or any other
hardware protected medium, software write-protect is the
next to best solution.

I fail to see any benefit to using software write-protect when hardware
write protect is convenient, easy and fool proof.
Simply move the write protect tab into the protect position and its
done. The only way to unprotect it is to physically move the tab back

Hi Mike,
I followed the threads on hardware-wp. The last
information I read was that you have to do some
SMD soldering to get the write protection feature.
I think that this is not well suited for many
people as you need some soldering experience to
do this.
The last information i got from apacer

Hi
I believe the security concerns are well understood. But if we have someone
on our doorstep with the ability Charles pointed out, of course he/she will
be able to place some malware on our ram disk. It is not as bad es having
an infected non volatile storage but I believe this attacker woul
