I bought an LS 120 ATAPI drive from Insight and it's proving the very
devil to install. 

According to the instructions it's meant to be the master on the
secondary EIDE channel, with the CD-ROM as slave, jumpers set
appropriately. Win98 is supposed to recognise and install drivers
automatically. 

This device replaces directly the A: drive and should act in its place
as a boot device in Win98 and DOS. In practice, although I can read and
write to it (it is F: [2 x HDDs, plus Jaz drive, E:, CD-ROM - G:]), it
won't work as A:. When I try to access A: it says it's not formatted and
wants to format it as 180Kb, which it won't do anyway.

I've tried every combination of BIOS setting I can think of. My machine
is a Dell PII, with newly flashed BIOS. Dell, infuriatingly, does not
list the LS 120 as a Dell supported device. The Dell BIOS is a limited
version built on to a Phoenix base, according to the initial flash
screen.

Any help would be welcome. Thanks.
