I have had an LS-120 working for a couple of months now and
it has worked OK. I use it as a floppy with mtools (there is
a line in the mtools.conf that seems to work after selecting
the drive letter I want).  However, I have noticed that dos/win
doesn't see the disk after repeated use under Linux.

Today, mcopy started hanging up and wouldn't quit at all
(although the file I was trying to copy seemed OK). I have lost one
LS-120 and this one is brand new (although it, too, may be bad).

I am using RH 5.1 (kernel 2.34) at work and RH 5.0
at home.

Questions:

Does anyone have any experience using the LS-120 successfully
under dos and Linux as I have been attempting?

Are there any known LS-120 driver problems?
(And solutions?)

Thanks.

Tom Browder
