Well Linux handles the LS-120 drives though it might have a special setup
for that.
If linux is smart and just reads the number of C.H.S. (Cyl, Heads, Sect)
then it should be able to handle it...
Others may comment better....

Subject: [SLUG] Floppy Disk Memory Stick Adapters and Linux???
Ok.. The Sony Mavica seems really nice for me.. and it takes Floppies..
which is pretty cool.. The way you get around 1.44M limitations, is, it
can take thoes Memory Stock/Floppy adapters.. and write to that!. Which is
pretty cool..
However... How will Linux handle it? Is it proprietory? How would linux
handle a 64M floppy?
Would I have to get the floppy adapter for the mavica, and some other
stick adapter for Linux?
It's a pity these kinds of questions are never answered in magazines
"hardware reviews"...
