I tick "Fast File System" in the format dialogue to get a slightly higher capacity, what is the earliest version of Workbench and/or Kickstart that can read these disks?

2.x can boot from and read Fast File System disks easily. There is a fastfilesystem driver that works on 1.3, but AFAIK you can't boot from FFS disks with it.

I was just trying to clarify the first reply. So FFS is fully 2.04 compatible then?

Yes.

Amigas don't use master boot records...

 and it then works with just about any OS as long as the controller understands RDB.

...they use Rigid Disk Blocks. They do a similar job, but they're not the same thing.
