The only possible thing I can think of is that the write protect window
in the Bonus disks is mis-alligned, and the drive isn't detecting the
window.  Also, the drive's write-protect mechanism may be marginal, and
the Bonus disks are just a TEENSY WEENSY bit out of whack.  I would say
that you should have the write-protect mechanism checked.

BTW, I believe that BONUS disks are Verbatim disks that don't meet the
desired specs, but are good enough to be sold.  I'd stay away from them
in any case.

P.S. Eastman Kodak is based here in Rochester, so I can find out FOR
     SURE if Bonus disks are indeed rejects.
