In fairness, it probably seems like there is less sun in their mother's basement, which is apparently where they broadcast from.

This Bill passed in the House 314-100 with 95 Republicans voting for it (with 96 voting against it). In the Senate, it passed 86-8, with 40 Republicans voting in favor of the Bill, and only 7 voting against. And, of course, President Bush, a Republican, signed it into law.

There are plenty of SCSI write blockers out there.

This is not meant sarcastically. Are there really? My experience is that there are very few. The only ones I've ever seen, and I can't find links to them anymore, are full forensic recovery PC's, not adaptors like the parent links to. Can you point me to any such devices? I have a real need.

PS And, yes I know many SCSI drives have a write-protect jumper setting, but not all do, and the exceptions are important too.
