Greetings from Pensey's Point, James!
James Walton put finger to keyboard and spelled out some words about

JW> Uh, Lock the Drive?
The Zip software allows you to lock the drive so that the disk cannot be
removed by pushing the button. Something you might want to do if there
were young children around with sticky fingers, perhaps. The software
also allows you to write protect etc. While the disk is locked, Ensemble
sees it as a hard drive. Unlock it and it becomes a floppy. Thus the
symbol tells you whether it is locked or not. Neat!
JW> It really isn't a big deal since Geoworks doesn't care that the Zip
rive
JW> is 100 megs instead of 1.44 megs.
Quite true!
JW> I use Geoworks to publish a small creative writing anthology and a
JW> science fiction fanzine.
I'd love to see a copy of your work. I publish a newsletter on how to
get more out of Ensemble and an Ensemble-based system. I also write a
column for one of Australia's oldest computer magazines, "Your
Computer".
Regards
Pensey
