The desciption is correct. I have one, ute it and it's great!!! 120MB for $10 (or less).. It just isn;t as popular as those stinkin' ZIP & JAZ drives because it was marketed poorly. Aside from limited use, it's great (did I say that already?)

You can replace your standard 3.25" drive with an LS-120 (also known as Super Floppy) in most desktop/tower type PCs. If you have a laptop, then check out the manufacturer's website for available drives. If N/A then have a look around for an external USB (asuming you have USB) drive.

www.imation.com is a good start, or just do a search with "USB and LS-120".

Tip: Pick up a couple of boxes of disks when you run into them. The media is not always easy to find, and it avoids those pointless "discussions" with the sales dweebs about the misperceived virtues of those sucky JAZ/ZIP systems.
