A million. And 8 bits in a byte.

Hello,

I just joined cctalk. While you're on floppy drives, I'd like to ask
something. Wasn't the LS-120 made by Panasonic ? And didn't they make
another version, the LS-240 ?

As far as I can remember, any of them are made to work on the IDE/PATA
interface. Now, would it be possible to adjust it hardware so that it
can be recognized as a real floppy ? This would be the solution to
making it work under Win XP.

Yes, it probably won't be able to record big disks, but as far as I
know Panasonic provided a software program to do that, which
reportedly worked like a CD burning program. That program could
apparently write 32 MB on a regular disk. Assume we also have the
source code of that program.
