| 
| Perhaps because of the two models I've seen in action, one of them
| continuously comes up as write-protected for no apparent reason?  Actually,
| three--the first one was swapped out and exchanged for another when we
| thought it was bad.  1/3 success rate is not good.
| 
| I still haven't heard what the solution is.

I asked Tom Podnar once "How do I write-protect a REV cartridge?"
His answer was, "There's no way to do it."
