Working with disks, tapes, and CD-ROMs

Using floppy disk drives

In addition to using floppy disks to store ``loose'' files, you can also use them to back up an entire system; this may, however, require the availability of many disks. In either case, a floppy disk must be formatted before it can be used.

NOTE: LS-120 drives are also supported. Although an LS-120 drive is connected to an IDE bus instead of the floppy controller, it is automatically configured by the system as a floppy drive. The LS-120 uses conventional 3.5-inch standard (720KB) or high density (1.44MB) disks, or a 120MB SuperDisk.
