The write protect is in the hardware, so to try and reprogram the DOS will
not work.  If you really want to write to a write protected disk, you can
break off the notch in the drive itself.  This will never sense a write
protected disk, hence always writing.  I wouldn't suggest this, because
the write protect is just what it says:  Protection.  But, since you asked,
that is the scoop.
