Epson Equity 286 PLUS - Manual (Page 65)

On a 3 ?&inch diskette, the write-protect device is a small switch
on the back of the diskette in the lower right comer, shown
below. To write-protect a 31/2-inch diskette, slide the switch
toward the edge of the diskette until it clicks into position,
exposing a hole in the comer.

To remove the write protection, slide the switch toward the
center of the diskette until it clicks into position and the hole is
covered.
Note
Some program diskettes have no notch or switch so they are
permanently write-protected. This protects them from being
accidentally erased or altered.
