You can write to protected cards easily with an "unprotect" card. Take an old card that you aren't otherwise using and cut its bottom right corner off so its right side is at a 45 degree slope to the upper right corner. Then, if you gently put that into the exit port of the card reader (the left slot), you can write to a protected (cut corner) card. The protected card will push this one out of its way as it goes through, but this cards's pointed corner will fill the gap of the protected card's cut corner, fooling the HP-65 (or 67 or 97).

Excellent, thanks very much. I have some bad original 67 cards which I can restore this way. Appreciate the useful tip.
