Re: backward compatability.

IF that is important to you, buy an ls120. No problem with that.

For me, all of my stuff has been transfered to zip and jaz. Have not touched a floppy for over 18 months. The floppy is too small and requires too much effort for what is on my computer. The only backward compatability issue was being able to get everything off the floppy disks so they NEVER had to be used again.

The ls120 is too slow for my needs. Time=money.

Purchasing a computer system based on it having backward compatability to the floppy, is to me like choosing a stereo system because it has an 8 track built in.
