      Heads will roll if my LS-120 drive stops working!

        Is there somewhere to get these drivers if you want to run really old hardware?

          Running an older kernel isn’t an option? Otherwise compiling your own kernel with the drivers should be possible I assume.

          Someone could publish them as dynamic kernel modules.

        I was devastated when I couldn’t use my floppy drives anymore.

          The Software Publishers Association has finally won:

          It is no longer possible to copy that floppy. :-(

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
