    You could do that with any copy protected floppy. That was the little sliding tab in the corner. Tab open = read-only. Tab closed = read & write.

      I remember the AOL disks not having the sliding tab, either it had been pried out or it was just a disk that didn’t have it.

        Correct. Any disks that the company didn’t want erased, like marketing disks, didn’t have the slide tab. Hence the op mentioning they used tape instead.
