LS-120 Drive Compatible As

This parameter allows you not only to enable the LS-120 device installed in your system, but also to specify the function of the device. The setting affects how BIOS will detect the device.

Possible settings are:

Normal In this setting, BIOS does not support the LS-120 drive. The drive needs the LS-120 device driver to operate.

Drive A BIOS recognizes the LS-120 drive as drive A. If a standard diskette drive A exists, BIOS automatically identifies it as drive B. If a standard diskette drive B exists, it automatically becomes inaccessible.

If two LS-120 drives exist, BIOS recognizes them as drive A and drive B, respectively.

Drive B BIOS recognizes the LS-120 drive as drive B. If a standard diskette drive B exists, it becomes inaccessible.

Hard Disk BIOS recognizes the LS-120 drive as a hard disk. In this setting, format the LS-120 drive as any other hard disk and assign it a drive letter C, D, E, and so on. See the documentation that came with the LS-120 drive for more information.
