If you ran DrawBridge diagnostics, what it shows? If WinUAE is able to write into disk, just ignore write protection checkmark.

In FloppyBridge mode write protection status comes from real floppy drive and GUI always shows write protection checkbox as disabled and write not allowed, which is not correct, it should show real RW status of disk inserted in FB drive (will be fixed in next version). This is only a visual bug and does not affect FB writing.

WinUAE 4.10.1 disk write access
Then is there a different setting to access the RamDisk, because in image 3 shows 0k free, I thought it had something to do with the write protection, because back in the day when I owned a real A500, I would use the ram disk to hold information between floppy disk swaps.

Ram Disk is always 100% full. It grows and shrinks with its contents. You can copy files to it anyway.

Yes. RAD drive, which survives resets, is static. It's not mounted by default though.
