LS120 questions

chocsplease · 08 January 2017, 19:32

Hi,
I have just obtained an LS120 disk drive. For those who don't know about these they are ide drives that had their own disks that could read 120mb as well as pc 720k and 1.44mb disks.
I don't think they ever cought on, they were in comp with the zip drive and appeared about the same time usb pen drives were taking off.
I doubt if you can get the 120mb disks anymore but the thought stikes me could I get it to read 1.44 mb disks in the Amiga?

I guess I'd need a special mount list but don't know how to create one.

Any ideas?

I have that drive. I got it when it was first released. Yes, you can read PC floppies on it with the links provided by @zipper.

Thanks I have a registered version of ide fix, never knew it could read LS120s!

All I have to do now is wait for a new buffered ide interface (mine died) from the guys at Amiga kit and away we go

I wonder If you could get it to read 880k disks since it seems abit more flexible than a standard pc drive?
