Is the Hard Drive Read/Write flag supposed to do anything? :)

Booted a HDF (RDB mode) with Read/Write unchecked...doesn't seem to dissuade AmigaDOS from allowing me to write to it, though.

Bug or misunderstanding of expected behavior?

Hmm... Readonly-flag isn't getting to hardfile open routines.. Not sure when it broke.
It works with real harddrives (different code path).
