Name

BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY — Include IDE/ATAPI FLOPPY support

If you have an IDE floppy drive that uses the ATAPI protocol, answer yes. ATAPI is a newer protocol used by IDE CD-ROM/tape/floppy drives, similar to the SCSI protocol.

The LS-120 and the IDE/ATAPI Iomega ZIP drive are also supported by this driver. For information about jumper settings and the question of when a ZIP drive uses a partition table, see http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/zip/zip-1.html. (ATAPI PD-CD/CDR drives are not supported by this driver; support for PD-CD/CDR drives is available if you answer yes to SCSI emulation support).

If you say yes here, the FLOPPY drive will be identified along with other IDE devices, with a name such as hdb or hdc (check the boot messages using the dmesg command).
