However, the LS120 drives do have a practical use--I put them in later

recognizes the the drive.
LS120's were the most unreliable format I ever used. Disks were frequently
unreadable mere weeks after making them and the drives were so touchy
even a slight bump was enough to make them unusable. I still have one
or two of the drives and a handful of disks around here somewhere but I
would
never consider trying to use them again.
