Yes, I've had 3.5" 1.44kb disks in it when attempting to access it as an A
drive.  It simply won't -- it hangs the system. Whether the media inserted is a
1.44kb disk or an LS-120 disk, only the D drive designation works in Win95. This
means that the A drive designation is useless, and potentially dangerous.

It seems that members of this list have not taken to LS-120 in droves, doesn't
it?
