Less than Win95b requires drivers, and has some limitations.
My instructions warn about this "slow" device affecting a hard
drive on the same cable.  I never tried it as a master.
"Full" BIOS support required if you want to boot from the LS-120.
You can have a real floppy and an LS-120. My LS-120 is "B" when
installed this way. (The system requires "A" for the real floppy.)
I have a "bad feeling" about anything other than a "plain" ide cd rom
on your sound card port.             Good luck,  Rick
