Indeed, I couldn't even tell you. I *do* know where the write *enable* notch is, however. I can't ever recall hearing anyone ever calling the plastic ring on open-reel mag tape a "write-protect" ring. I've sometimes wondered how many 5.25" diskettes got inadvertently clobbered because of the reversal of the sense of the notch. --Chuck
