Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdeutils

Kfloppy will neither high nor low level format an LS-120 superfloppy even though it correctly identifies the IDE drive as an ATAPI floppy. It should not allow low level format, as that took forever back in the day, but it should be able to perform the same high level format that DR DOS, OS/2, and Windows 98 through current release can do.
