Promise Technology introduces the world's first bootable ATAPI controller for LS-120 drives (O.R. Technology's "a:driveā„¢"). Now users can simply replace an existing 3.5" floppy drive with an LS-120 drive or add it as a second floppy to support LS-120 media (Imation's 120MB diskettes). It boots DOS for Windows 3.1x and DOS 5.x from 1.44MB/720KB floppies and boots to a DOS prompt under Windows 95 using a 120MB floppy.
