Tony,

Thank you for your comment. Please note that, as I mentioned previously, Lotus 1-2-3 was in fact delivered on 3.5 inch diskettes for the DG-1 at the time the DG-1 was released in September, 1984 (see attachments "Lotus 1-2-3 Booklet cover and Title page.pdf" and "Lotus 1-2-3 insert.pdf" above). Almost all of the popular software titles of the time were available on 3.5 inch diskettes for the DG-1 either when the DG-1 was released or shortly thereafter (see my attachment "DG One Software.jpg" which shows a photograph of a few titles available in or around the time the DG-1 was released - all of them were on 3.5 inch diskettes for the DG-1 and were available before the Toshiba T-1100 was announced or released). In addition, the DG-1 had an optional 5.25 inch drive which could run IBM PC software on 5.25 inch diskettes.
