You could do that with any copy protected floppy. That was the little sliding tab in the corner. Tab open = read-only. Tab closed = read & write.

I remember the AOL disks not having the sliding tab, either it had been pried out or it was just a disk that didn't have it.

AOL didn't want you to reuse them so they didn't have the tab
