I do have a few other discs, but those are official IBM PC-DOS 3.3 Disc, so I won't be erasing DOS from them. I tried formatting it on the Packmate 3, as I thought maybe an older machine may do this better, but I was wrong, it tried to format and then gave a "FORMAT FAILED". The disc(s) can be read, and programs found on them can be executed just fine, and files can be opened. I apologise for the fuzziness in the image, lot's of light in the room, especially sunlight. So I know 100% for certain it is NOT write-protected. I also put a label over the notch to see what would happen, and Win Image told me the disc is write-protected as I expected, then I removed the label from it. The disc I used was obviously not write-protected as the notch is not covered with tape or a label or anything. However, both Windows 3.1 "File Manager" and Win Image for 3.1, fail to write it.
Just now, I got one of my "5.25 floppies out to try and format one so I can write something else onto it (in this case: Commander Keen 1).
