AFAIK standard (non-proprietary) CompactFlash, SmartCards, Memory =
Stick, et
al, are seen as (removable) storage with typical allowed attributes. I =
can
set a file/folder/card to 'locked' in my camera but when plugged into =
the
computer this will show as 'read only.'
Then again, router manufacturers are infamous for jiggering as much as
possible to proprietary. Might still be able to 'administer' the card =
in
another machine then install it in the proprietary device but that =
might
void your warranty. :)
Hey, they're just protecting their market share, right? Worked for =
Apple,
oh, wait a minute... (/mnt asbestos underwear)
Just my 2=A2.

Duh. Sorry about the brainfart. I was about to launch into a long=20
explanation of what I want to do when I realized I wrote "write-only"
instead of "read-only." I meant "read-only."
Note to self: Engage brain *before* fingers.
