Disabling HP65/67 card reader write protect

[wallyt]

I just tried the "cut card" method on my HP65 and it worked really well! This might not be as elegant as a hard wire switch but it sure was easier. It defeated the copy protection status and I was able to re-record onto the factory card first try.

Since I am currently attempting a repair on my HP97 printer and have the case open I might look into hard wiring a switch as mentioned above. It would depend on how many bad factory cards I find in my collection.

Thanks to all responders here!
