This article was previously published under Q81042
When you save files using Terminal, MS-DOS device drivers cannot be
used as valid filenames. If you attempt to save a file that is an
MS-DOS device filename such as COM1, the following error occurs:
Cannot write file; check to see if your disk is full.
In this case, the disk is not actually full. Instead, an MS-DOS device
driver filename is being used or is simply reserved. Below is a list
of MS-DOS device driver filenames that produce the error above:
CON
AUX
CLOCK$
COM1
COM2
COM3
COM4
PRN
LPT1
LPT2
LPT3
