As far as I know you do need to have BIOS support to boot from an LS-120,
but you can leave the floppy drive installed also and still have the LS-120
then when he gets a new Mainboard that supports LS-120 booting then he can
get rid of the floppy drive. How old is the board he has? I bought a board
over a year ago and it had LS-120 support built in to the BIOS.
