Just fell out when it got too strained, I supposed. Anyway, just string in a SPST switch through the line where the microswitch used to be hooked up, (after disconnecting the now useless microswitch) and you'll find that when connected, your drive will be able to write, and vice versa when the line is open. String the wires out through the back cover of the drive on top of the ribbon cable. I've been working with this arrangement for a while, and I like it better than the old way. One can write all over disks with no write- protect notches, and one can switch on the write-protect switch for a feeling of security.
