Released in 1985 by Lotus Development Corp
For Apple Macintosh 512k

Lotus Jazz was a heavily marketed all-in-one integrated office suite
that included a word processor, spreadsheet, graphing, database, and
communications program. Jazz was targeted as a universal solution for
all office workers. Although at release, the program was exclusively
for the Apple Macintosh 512k. Despite the marketing effort, it
flopped miserably. Although it was from Lotus, the spreadsheet was
not related to Lotus 1-2-3.
Lotus Jazz motivated Microsoft to purchase Mouseworks that became
Microsoft Works.
Important: The program disk is copy protected. To create usable disk
images, you must create floppy disks with the provided Kryoflux,
SuperCard Pro, or Transcopy images.
Protection type: Intentionally bad CRC on track 12, sector 0.
Initial attempts with the PCE Mac emulator failed. It complains it
can not find the Jazz key disk.
