LS-120 high capicty drive

Does anybody know how to get the above to work..? Puzzled

Wow - you give us nothing to work with. Unfortunately my crystal ball runs on widoze and it keeps crashing so how about posting some error messages, system details, what have you tried etc.

I would expect it to be much like an IDE zip, you need to have a disk in the drive when you boot, do that and see if it is recognized, in KDE I would expect a desktop icon, if that doesn't seem to work then from a terminal window or console look in dmesg for something about your LS drive using the following command:
dmesg | grep LS-120
if that does not give any info try:
dmesg | grep sd

also you could look at all connected scsi devices by using:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi

We need more info to help you any more than that.

On my panasonic laptop my ls-120 drive was seen as sda and it was in the /mnt directory after install so you will have to mount sda. So my fix was as follows.
mount /dev/floppy /mnt/sda
here is the link to my entire post
