I have a 6300, Xenix, and a 10 meg disk. In backing up a number of files:
    + I formatted a new floppy
    + executed
	tar cvf /dev/fd0 <list of filenames>
and I received this message:
"can't write beyond end of floppy"
"tar: tape write error"

I then reduced the number of files, executed tar again, and the error
messages did not appear. However, when I checked the contents of the floppy with
	tar vt
I received another, though different, message:
"tar: directory checksum error"

I repeated the above procedure with another new floppy and got  the
same results.

I would appreciate any explanations/clarifications/advice concerning this
problem.
