For what it's worth, that depends on the reader. The write-only tab is just a bit of plastic that a sensor in the reader looks at, it does nothing to the card. If the reader doesn't have a sensor, or is blocked by cruft collecting in the slot, your card may be writeable. i.e. Always be sensibly cautious with your photos. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
