Hi,
After wrestling with by computer's BIOS, I finally got my Imation
Superdisk (LS-120) working on Mandrake Linux 6.1. The only problem is,
there seems to be no way to low-level format a standard floppy disk on
it. fdformat only works on drives connected to floppy controllers. I was
amazed that Linux doesn't yet have full support for ide floppies, even
though many distros (including Mandrake) claim to.

Yeah, I had the same issues. On top of which, since I am running NT under
vmware, and vmware doesn't support the LS120 either (sigh), I finally broke
down a put a floppy drive in too. Argh.
