I put a write-protected diskette into fd0 cat /dev/zero > /dev/fd0: readonly filesystem then removed dikette, switched the plastic nibble reinserted diskette cat /dev/zero > /dev/fd0 : readonly filesystem removed the diskette cat /dev/zero: a bunch of garbage, then kernel spasms about sectors not found and commands not performed reinserted the diskette cat /dev/zero > /dev/fd0: readonly filesystem rebooted the machine cat /dev/zero > /dev/fd0: run OK.
morale: if you are not able to write on a write-permitted diskette, reboot the kernel
