can anyone explain the remark "No space left" and the difference
between records in and records out?

Thanks, ... Peter E.

dd reads in 41 blocks, and finds /dev/fd0 run of of space having written
40 blocks.

Seems very simple: your file is too big to fit on the floppy. After
36 * 40 = 1440 records are written, the disk is full.

Presumably the floppy disk is full/too small? They are/were pretty small by
modern standards! And presumably disk two is larger?

Try it again without the bs=36k.
I know dd will pad zeros to it so the last block is a full 36K. This is
probably making the disk image too big.
