I will take a shot on the answer. At least one of the lines on the cable
to the hard drive is probably something called a "write enable" signal.
If you could cut that line or pull the pin on the hard drive, it would
probably make it write-proof. I think that I saw a cable description
on the Western Digital web site recently. That would be a good
place to start. The information is surely on the www somewhere.
