 If this is a 'LS-120' drive, then it is a IDE floppy, and uses the 
 ATAPI-Floppy driver of kernel. This is in from 2.0.31and later. 

 You might want to look inside you computer, if you can't get the 
 information otherwise. If the drive is on a similar cable as hard-
 drive (40-wire), then it is a IDE drive.

if it is the device I'm thinking about there is an option in new bioses
which allows you to use the IDE versions as bootable floppy dirves.

Super disk drive

1998-07-11 Thread Carl Greco
Has anyone successfully integrated the 120MB Super Disk drive (by
Digital Research) in their Debian system?  Is it recognized by the
linux floppy driver?  The linux/drivers/block/README.fd (and driver
software) in linux-2.0.32 does not have any information about this
drive.  There is a floppy drive type 5 and 6 listed as a 3 1/2" ED.
Could this be used for the 120MB mode?

Carl
