   Please forgive dumb question from new user of old system...
   I just gone from 3.0 Xenix to 3.4 on my Intel 310 and found, to my
   horror, that all my tarred disks - like /etc,  /usr... give me
   soft error - CRC checks in the first few tracks...
   There dosen't seem to be a problem reading & writing new stuff, 
   but here's a mystery - one floppy - with my own directory - loads fine!
   Unfortunately, the one with /etc/termcap on it don't -- making it
   rather nasty to use the console! :-) :-) (the joke's on me!)
   Any ideas?
