Does anyone know if the 120MB floopy drive (LS-120 from O.R. Technology, www.ortechnology.com) will work with FreeBSD? I checked the FAQ, Handbook and searched the appropriate mailing list archives. I only found questions, with no real answers. It uses an IDE interface, and I believe it is an ATAPI device. Some mother boards (like mine, Giga-Byte GA-586HX) have a bios upgrade which provides BIOS native support to use it as an A: drive. Any information would be helpful, but my main questions are: 1. Does FreeBSD support this device? With BIOS native support? 3. Does changing media (1.44M -> 120M & 120M -> 1.44M) involve anything other than mount/umount. (wouldn't think so) 4. Can I install on and boot FreeBSD from this device? Thank you, Chris (Please mail me directly, as I'm not subscribed to this list. Thanks) -- Christopher Brown cbrown@fbti.com Systems Engineer http://www.fbti.com Frontier Business Technologies, Inc.
