Your primary problem is that LOTUs 3 is designed to ONLY run on an 286 or higher machine. This is because of the 3-D capabilities that require more memory and **maybe** a 16 bit bus. Lotus recently released 2 simultaneous versions, 2.2 for XT's, and 3R3 for 286 and up. If all you have are XT's then you bought the wrong version. If you wanted to upgrade and don't need the 3-D capabilities, then you might be better off running 2.2 on both your XT's and AT's. I agree with the problem your having with the media types. In their efforts to cut costs, LOTUS used 1.2M disks, rather than stacks of 360K or expensive 1.44M disks. If you want more info, I think PC magazine ran an article which compared 2.2 and 3r3. Good Luck and I hope that I could help you. PSUVM JCS120 Jonathan Shultz
