I've got a Z80 CP/M system with two 5.25 in drives. A: is ss/dd,
B: is ds/dd.  I keep getting the error message 

Bdos error on B:R/O

when trying to delete files, or copying using PIP, and with Wordstar.
The canonical situation is having a write-protect tab on the disk: I
don't.  Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?  Whatever it
is, it's intermittent.  Any pointers as to where the problem may lie
would be appreciated.

TIA,

	Some CPM systems will assign a dick drive a R/O when the drive door is
opened, as when changing disks (hence the intermittence). If this is the
case,  enter CTRL-C after changing disks.
