IIRC, the LS120 is NOT a floppy-based device. Therefore /dev/fd0, using the
default linkage, would not work. IIRC, it's an IDE device, so it would be
/dev/hdx where x=the letter of the IDE chain that the LS120 is on. For
example, if it's in the secondary slave position, it would be /dev/hdd. If
primary slave, /dev/hdb. For secondary master, /dev/hdc. I can't think of
any occasion when it would be /dev/hda if you have any IDE hard drives in
your system.

PS...I apologize in advance if I'm wrong about the connection type of the
LS120. :-)
