The easiest thing to do is to use a bridge whose firmware can be
modified to take a different action upon the issuance of a write (or
write-related) command. Operating systems will react differently
depending upon whether the device returns an error code, success code,
or remains quiet. The bottom line is that you need to intercept
packetized commands - write enable is not based off of a pin pulled
high or low. For more information, check out the ATA/ATAPI5 documents
from the T13 working group.
