0027 (ProDOS Error $27, ...)- In trying to access an apple SCSI hard drive
hooked up to a GS I keep getting a $27 error!?
This is an I/O error (input/ouput error). It may indicate that there is a
problem on the SCSI chain, such as a loose connector, SCSI ID# conflict, absence
of termination at the end of the chain, or absence of termination power. Another
possibility is that one or more hard disk files have become corrupted. Replacing
a few files may fix things; or, you may need to repartition or, even, low-level
re-format the hard disk. --Rubywand

0047 (ProDOS Error $47, ...)- A "Duplicate pathname" error indicates that an
attempt has been made to create a file which already exists or to rename a file
to one which already exists-- i.e. the full pathname of a new or renamed file
equals the full pathname of a file which already exists.
Note that it is okay to have a file or folder named, say, "PICS" inside a
folder named "PICS"; and, you can have files named "PICS" in different folders.
Also, ProDOS will permit overwriting a file with a file with the same name so
long as the original and replacement file have the same filetype.
What ProDOS does not like is an operation which tries to _create_ a file or
folder whose _full_ _ pathname_ is the same as an existing file or folder. For
example, you cannot create a "GAMES" folder on /RAM5 (i.e. /RAM5/GAMES) if there
is already a file or folder there named "GAMES"-- i.e. one whose pathname is
/RAM5/GAMES.
This error might easily occur when running a self-extracting file if the
self-extracing file has a name which matches the name of a contained file-- a
solution for this problem would be to rename the self-extracting file. A more
general solution for duplicate name creation is to create a new folder and use
the extraction utility (e.g. ShrinkIt-GS), instead of doing a self-extraction,
to extract files from the source file to the folder. --Rubywand

0048 or 0049 (e.g. ProDOS Error $48, ...)- Error $48, of course, means "volume
full"-- you are out of space on the target volume. Unfortunately, "volume full"
is, sometimes, incorrectly reported when the actual problem is too many entries
in the volume's main directory. (see below)
A $49 "volume directory full" error means the main or "root" directory of
the target volume has 51 entries and that an attempt has been made to create a
52nd entry. When it is incorrectly reported as "volume full" it can be very
confusing to a user who CATALOGs the volume and discovers plenty of free blocks.
The solution is to move some of the files in the main directory to folders. Only
a volume's main directory has this low limit on number of entries. You can have
many more than 51 files in a folder
