I tried it when trying various IDE disk devices. I found that it didn't
really behave as a standard IDE device - I think its actually an ATAPI
device. However, I did find that the Syquest EZ135 worked great, and the
IOMEGA ZIP drive worked, but was slow.

Besides, you really want to be able to use the floppy at the same time
as the hard disk so that you can install new versions of the system etc.
