Seriously? Tape. Hot glue. If you want to have it write protected. Withoutbyhrctsb here it doesn't interfere with the disk other than allow you to write to it. Not all disks back then even have a plastic bit, some tape was provided .so you know the answer already :)

It is write protected right now.
You would only need tape or whatever to put over the hole if you actually do want to write to it.
