- Also, you can use the disk protection features of the Zip disks. You can
- READ protect disks with a password. This is especially usefull if you
- have children (or other more sensitive people around) and like to keep
- things they should not see (example: 100 megs of XXX pics). You can also
- WRITE protect disks to keep the little ones from accidentally deleting
- important files or formatting disks with un-replaceable data. Lastly,
- they give you a dos driver for the drive so when you put in a disk the
- icon pops up on screen. I don't know if others found a convienient way
- around this, but I (not too comp. literate) needed to manually re-scan
- the SCSI bus after I put a disk in the drive (only for the first disk
- after a boot).
