When first set up (rewpeated instalaltions) on the entire disk 0.1 ftp just dumped core (503 card). Everything else seemed fine until extracting source when there were multiple input/output errors and incomplete extraction leaving the disk such that fsck couldn't clean it up. However when I put a 20 mb dos partition on to bring the 0.1 partition down to 124mb ftp worked fine - 150 kcps which is ok for a 503 taking from os/2. And no input output problems on extracting src01. I really need to get the other disk into production now (I want 10mb of isode).
