Any Amiga floppy should work electronically in a 1200, but getting them to physically fit is another issue. Only drives ripped straight out of a 1200 (and maybe a 600) will work without having to remove the front plate and fit a new eject button.

I just had to deal with floppy madness myself while rebuilding a 1200D, and what an annoying experience that was! I ended up just putting an old drive from a decomissioned 1200 tower conversion back in.

Correct. Since so many 1200s have been towered, I felt the need to specify.

EDIT: Also, to add to my earlier point, some drives will not fit at all - even with the faceplate modifications - they're just too thick. I think A500 drives fall into this category.
