Gaz,

A few days ago I was looking on the 'net for information on the LS-120
drives.  From what I gathered, they sit on an IDE (ATAPI) interface,
and not the traditional floppy interface.  To get them to boot, you
have to buy some special card.

I found a semi-good FAQ at:

But I have found nothing about LS-120's and Linux... More searching I
think.
