There is no switch inside the card. The tab, when in unlocked position, activates a switch in the socket, allowing the card to be writable. No tab = card read only. here's something that can be handy 'on location', in emergency with no shops in sight and with your OTG drive safe at home - as it happened to me: You need to put a matching bit in place of the broken/lost tab in unlocked position (covering top half of the notch). I used a bit of cigarette box (Chesterfield it was i think :), placed it in the slot where the tab was and secured with superglue. Card is still fine (over a year). teem -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
