I remember AOL on 3.5 floppies. You could put tape over a specific hole and re-use the disk.
-
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
-
Correct. Any disks that the company didn't want erased, like marketing disks, didn't have the slide tab. Hence the op mentioning they used tape instead.

Same principle as with cassettes/music tapes.
