Umm if you haven't got the upgrade for the PC Card software you might have disk problems as they are in the MDF (I think - the 1.8Mb ones) format. Meaning that whilst Risc-OS will read them the PC Card software won't. If you don't have FTP access to ftp.acorn.co.uk - you can always use the route which I orignally did - by copying the disks to your PC card partition on your Hard Disc (using RISC-OS) and then editing one of the files on the first disk so it point to your hard disc partition. If you can't copy the discs within RISC-OS I would suggest there is some problems with them. Dave. -- .sig - on vac
