Regarding the talk about whether an open or closed write protect tab
should represent "Write Protected":

Isn't there an extra gate on the circuit latch circuits inside the drive
that could be used to invert the write protect logic signal?  That would
take care of the problem wouldn't it?  And you can just do it to your
own computer drives since it won't make your disks incompatible or
anything bad like that.  How about it hardware gurus, can it be done
and if so, exactly how?
