To write protect or write enable a TR-DOS disk image
If the Beta 128 disk drives window is hidden, click Disk Drives on the View menu.
Click the lock icon next to the disk image you want to write-protect or write-enable.
Write protect states
|
The disk is write-enabled. Any changes written by the Spectrum are committed to disk when you eject the disk. |
|
The disk is write-protected. Any attempts by the Spectrum to write to the disk will produce Disk 'write' protected errors. |
|
The disk is write-protected and cannot be write enabled. The disk is probably on read-only media such as CD-ROM or DVD. Any attempts by the Spectrum to write to the disk will produce Disk 'write' protected errors. |
Note
Disk images on read-only media such as CD-ROMs or DVDs are always write-protected.
Treat disk image files just like the real thing - do not reset the Spectrum or exit Spectaculator while the Spectrum is reading or writing to a disk image.
