Didn't National Semiconductor have a spec sheet for write only memory
back in the late 70s or early 80s?

I think they developed it for the NSA.

Logging.  If a [email protected] cracks your box he can't erase anything that's
already been written there.  Often it takes a physical change (jumper,
dipswitch, etc) to change from write-only to read-only making it pretty
tough for the [email protected] to cover his steps.

Eh? Setting a flash drive to *write-only* would fix this how? Why would
anyone want to make a flash drive *write-only*?
