 All the answers have logic, unit treated as a floppy will be formatted as
one.  Another as a removable hard drive can be formatted
otherwise.  Agree that ls120 is archaic and cd will be used in future as no
cd burning setup as yet.   Have 10 new ls120 disks and was to use
for archiving old install files.
