Hi Emory, >>Based on your experience would you have any reservations about buying a computer that didn't have a floppy drive, just an LS-120?<< I would not have any reservations, as long as there is BIOS support. I haven't used a standard floppy drive since I purchased the 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?<< As yet, I haven't tried Win98. As for Win95, my only experience is with an OEM version which requires an "A" drive to activate (temporarily install the driver for) the CDROM drive. Since my BIOS supports the LS-120, I have no problem using it as an "A" drive during installation, and have done so many times.
