SP Should do with no problems but remember that the disks aren't
SP mounted as DF0, DF1, etc. I expect you'd mount them like a CDROM
SP drive. The mount file has to allow for both the superdisks & HD/DD
SP disks (Dynamic cylinder recognition).
I have an LS120 installed. They can read/write PC DD/HD but cannot
read/write Amiga DD/HD floppies.
You also still need the normal DF0: as I don't think you can boot from
LS120.
