indicates that as early as kernels 2.0 something there was support for running an IDE LS-120 as an a: drive. The Linux hardware database entry at <http://lhd.datapower.com/db/dispproduct.php3?DISP?1072> is not comprehensive, but it seems to warn of using an LS-120 with UltraDMA. This might be a limitation. In any case, you would be advised to use a recently manufactured mainboard with an up-to-date BIOS. There are additional concerns about how to mount the floppy once you get the hardware working. Maybe this can be worked out. This appears to be a general Linux issue, not necessarily a Debian issue. It might be easier to transfer the contents of the floppies from an Amiga computer to a Linux computer with ftp or something else. This might be drudgery, however. good luck, Andrew Hagen [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 4 May 2001 10:32:25 +0200 (CEST), Sebastiaan wrote: >Hello, > >I am planning to copy several hundreds (thousands?) of old Amiga floppys >to my computer and burn a cd from it.
