In response to my question about write-protection o fhard drives someone
pointed out the protection bits in ProDos.  I'm afraid that without any
address protection hardware they are useless -- any virus writer worth
his salt would do direct block reads and writes, ignoring all of ProDos,
which is why I was asking about a physical switch you could throw.
