Bill;

  About the first of the year, I was getting 244's from my ST-238 when I'd try
to access a file.  I found that it was mostly files that were in DIRectories
with > 100 files, and I could usually try reading the file again and it would
work the 2nd or 3rd time. If not, copying the file to another name seemed to
solve the problem.
  I finally reformatted the drive, and haven't had problems since.  If it
helps any, here is the script that I used to pre-extend the DIRs :

display c
echo * Installing OS9boot on track 128...
bootport /f0/os9bootx /dd/OS9Boot
echo *
echo * Creating root directory structure...
load mkdir
mkdir AIF
mkdir -e 150 AR
mkdir ASM
mkdir BACKUP
mkdir -e 70 BASIC09
mkdir -e 120 C
mkdir -e 250 CMDS
mkdir -e 60 DEFS
mkdir -e 100 DOCS
mkdir -e 150 GAMES
mkdir HELP
mkdir LETTERS
mkdir LIB
mkdir -e 50 MISC
mkdir -e 80 MODULES
mkdir -e 99 MSGS
mkdir OLDMSGS
mkdir PASCAL
mkdir PATCHES
mkdir PCFILE
mkdir -e 60 PIX
mkdir RSDOS
mkdir -e 130 SOURCES
mkdir -e 50 SYS
mkdir -e 60 TEMP
mkdir -e 50 UTILS
unlink mkdir
echo * Root created...
dir /dd


 Hope this helps...
...Jim       O_o    AACK!
