Cant get my old Amiga 1200 Disks to read on Amiga 500

Another alternative is to ask your A1200-owning friend to download XFS and install it on to a bootable Workbench 1.3 disk (you'll need to remove some of the extras on the WB disk to allow XFS to fit). One of XFS's features is that it sets up an FFS disk handler, allowing 1.3-based Amigas to read/write such disks.

OK, so who broke Aminet?! :-)

You can find it on the German Aminet mirror (which appears to be a bit out of date, but still contains the last version of XFS) here: http://de.aminet.net

P.S. This is my first post on A.org using a REAL Amiga! (A3000, 68060, OS3.9, Sana2 network card). All those smileys take FOREVER to load in AWeb!
