09.008 How do I fix a false Write Protect?
I recently ran into this problem with a Disk II. It insisted the disk was
write protected. I checked the write protect switch, but it was okay. I pulled
all the chips out of the analog board inside the drive, cleaned the contacts
with a clean pencil eraser (one was really dirty, almost looked burnt) and
re-installed them. Voila! The problem went away.
