Managed to install the product without problem on a 'real' PC so it looks
like the discs are OK.  Disc drive not known message obyained if attempting
to access discs 2, 3 and 5-7 in ROS, DOS & Windoze, so it would appear that
the problem is ROS and not PC card software.  The fact that cataloguing disc
4 (*dr.0 then *. from command line) the floppy drive powers up then I get a
catalogue listing for my hard drive (drive 4) makes me think that there is
something 'funny' in the disc name which is being misinterpreted by ROS as a
drive number.

Unless anyone has any brilliant ideas I think I'll dump Word and go for
WordPerfect (after all its the nearest thing to a decent word processor on
the PC and it will save documents in Word 2 format).
