[linux-team] About LS-120



Someone asked about LS-120 today. The next is a copy of the documentation
from the kernel source: (I hope it helps)

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY:

If you have an IDE floppy drive which uses the ATAPI protocol,
answer Y. ATAPI is a newer protocol used by IDE CDROM/tape/floppy
drives, similar to the SCSI protocol. IDE floppy drives include the
LS-120 and the ATAPI ZIP (ATAPI PD-CD/CDR drives are not supported
by this driver; support for PD-CD/CDR drives is available if you
answer Y to "SCSI emulation support", below).

If you say Y here, the FLOPPY drive will be identified along with
other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something similar (check
the boot messages with dmesg).

If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. The module will be
called ide-floppy.o.
