Got a question hopefully somebody out there can answer:  Is there a way to
write-protect a SCSI device (specifically, a hard disk)?  I'd like to make one
of the two drives in my daisy-chained setup read-only at times (like when the
kids are playing games loaded from the hd and I don't want to take the chance
of them trashing my drive.  I do regular back-ups, but it's a headache to
do a backup before I can let the little rug-rats do their thing.  It would
make things much simpler if I could just flip a switch or something.  Thanks
in advance for any replies.
