If you find out how to do format a dos floppy in an LS 120 drives, that
would settle my impending purchase on an LS 120 for the new machine in my
life.  

It seems to me that formatting a floppy should be do-able by any drive
that can write to the floppy disk. Or does the floppy drive do something
that the LS 120 cannot? (and that I don't know about? ;)
