Hello Huub,

I used a LS-120 SuperDisk for a long time with Solaris 8, and I'm using it now
with Solaris 9. I guess the answer to your question is, yes the SuperDisk
works. However I believe that there is no official support, and probably you
won't find any do***entation to help you if something goes wrong.

I've never tried to discover why or how it works, but it seems to have an IDE
device signature, but mounts as a normal floppy drive would. Even typing
'eject' makes the disk eject (motorized) like on Macintosh computers.

Regards,
Michael

Not quite as a normal floppy: it does not use /dev/rdiskette as the
device name and it does not mount under /floppy with vold.

It's more similar to an atapi zip drive (uses /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s?
device and mounted by vold under /rmdisk).


On my system there are problems when you try to boot from a Solaris
x86 DCA floppy in the LS-120 drive. This is not necessarily a problem
if you're able to boot from CDROM or network (or the HDD, when Solaris is installed).

Yep.
