Re: ls-120 drives

It IS possible to format a 1.44m floppy in an LS120. The compaq machine I have at work does this all the time under windows NT. What is needed is a program to do this under linux! ---"David B. Teague" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Tue, 13 Oct 1998, Kenneth Scharf wrote: > > >
