4.5 Write-protecting a Cartridge
You can write-protect a cartridge to prevent its data from being changed or written
over. Cartridges are write-protected by sliding the tab on the rear of the cartridge so
that the hole is open (see figure 4-2).

Write-protecting a cartridge in this manner utilizes software as a means
of preventing data from being erased by accident. It does not prevent the
magnetic erasing of data using demagnetizers.
