BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY — Include IDE/ATAPI FLOPPY support
If you have an IDE floppy drive that uses the ATAPI protocol, answer yes. ATAPI is a newer protocol used by IDE CD-ROM/tape/floppy drives, similar to the SCSI protocol.
The LS-120 and the IDE/ATAPI Iomega ZIP drive are also supported
by this driver. For information about jumper settings and the question
of when a ZIP drive uses a partition table, see http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/zip/zip-1.html. (ATAPI
PD-CD/CDR drives are not supported by this driver; support for
PD-CD/CDR drives is available if you answer yes to SCSI emulation support
).
If you say yes here, the FLOPPY drive will be identified along
with other IDE devices, with a name such as hdb
or hdc
(check the boot messages using the
dmesg command).
