It is recognized as the "A" drive, and I can boot from it with both a 3 1/2" 1.44mb or 120mb disk. I have no native LS120 support in the bios on my machine. The guy that installed it had to go through some gyrations. Perhaps that is why it does not show up as an 'A' drive in my machine. Thanks for the input Zeuspaul

Hi Alan Thanks for the information. I'm currently in the dark ages, running Win 3.11 on a 386 DX (25MHZ), and have made the decision to jump to warp speed. Maybe an overstatement, but that's probably how it's going to feel. I haven't installed or worked with Win95 or Win98 and I'm trying to make sure I don't make any bad assumptions. Based on your experience would you have any reservations about buying a computer that didn't have a floppy drive, just an LS-120? During the install process of Win95 or Win98 do either of them require an A drive (ex: to build a rescue disk) to write to? And if so, would the LS-120 suffice? TIA - Emory
