Real hackers look before they talk.  In computers, it's a big mistake to
confuse assumptions with reality.

A quick glance at the position of the write-protect tab inside the disk
drive (and you don't have to take off the case for this) shows a little
spring-driven metal tab, and no LED.  Therefore, all this stuff about
turning off the LED is the sheerest fabrication.  The mechanism is obviously
mechanical, not optical.
