No, no, no. You install microswitch available under battery (available for
end user). When Off, you can not save anything to chip number 1 (you
disconnect phisycally lines required for changing chip content). When on,
you can save to chip number 1. All stuff like user disk, etc. Etc. goes into
chip number 2 (you can always change it). Simple. 

Can be done something like that (I'm not hardware guy) ?
