        Problem of temporary protection

            CDs from the record.


   This note I address in the first place
those who are concerned about the problem of gluing disks
5.25 "to write protection, and only then lovers of all kinds of 
bells and whistles. 

   And it is this. Those who stick with
write_protect slot in the near future
faced with a temporary withdrawal
defense - ripped / recorded / taped. When I
little confidence in their drive (I had
Electronics 5213 - God rest his soul!)
or himself, to avoid this
irreversible, sometimes fatal, surgery, came up with his little 
bells and whistles, which allows you to write to disk glued. 
And recently, just a couple of months ago, it finalized the 
deal and get what I put on your own risk.


   Now, with this little gadgets can also temporarily protect 
an unsealed drive. 

   The scheme is simple to horror: three-way
switch, either on your taste, color and
size and three wiring. Switch mount anywhere on the body of 
companies, it is better not very far away from the drive. 
Located on the upper side of your drive photodiode as just 
opposite the protect-hole inserted diskettes, and otpaivaete 
from one of his contacts conductor. Next, guided by the 
following scheme: 


         FD


      # (O) # x #


                    1 x - unsolder

                    2 # - solder

                    3 PD - photodiode



       of record

     switch to disc


           1 as usual


           2 is always forbidden


           3 is always enabled


   Typically, for an average of (2)
switches, the contact is not provided, and
as seen by the scheme, he told us and no longer needed.

   Now, if your disk is protected by a plastic, and should
record - Use the 3 position.
Esle is not protected by a plastic disc, and you want it
Temporary Protection - Position 2. Respectively in position 1 
entry is allowed only in an unsealed drive. 

   Reading the floppy disk, of course, possible
at any position of the switch.

   Questions? I do not. Write letters - answer all!
