- The LPS120 was (maybe) discontinued because there is a cheaper
- successor in the ELS series.
- I use a LPS120S together with a LPS105 on a GVP Series II
- since 10-feb-92 and had no problems with it. The drive is on 24 hrs
- a day and my amiga may work for a month without a reboot.
- The ROM on the LPS120S is 4.6, the ROM on the LPS105S 2.3
- and the ROM on the GVP is 3.07.
- GVP uses the same SCSI-Chip as C=, the WD33C93A 00-04 PROTO.
- If you experience problems with a drive, you should try
- a AM33C93A or a WD33C93A 00-08 PROTO, this may solve the problem.
- ^^ note this!

- As far as I know, the LPS120S is the same as the LPS240 with
- only one disk.
