Debbie - With all modern media, a "void" in the sensing position indicates
writing not allowed. IBM cartridges have a thumbwheel which,
when turned, reveals a flat spot on the thumbwheel cylinder, which is that
void/depression indicating writing not allowed. So, when you see the dot,
it means that the media is write-protected. You want the thumbwheel
turned such that the dot is not showing. Some cartridges show a padlock
instead of a dot, which is a great leap forward in human engineering. ;-)
