Imation was the company that developed (I think...) the LS120 floppies. I
haven´t had one for some time now. Unfortunately the 120MB floppies died
out with the advent of CDroms. They were great because you could
write-rewrite the floppy and you didn´t have to fill a 700MB cd. But you
needed a floppy drive designed to read the 120 floppies. Mine broke down a
long while ago and I was unable to replace it as they´d stopped
manufacturing them. So, unless you have a LS120 floppydrive you won´t be
able to read it, I´m afraid...
