Thanks again


The disk you use to boot the A1200 shouldn't matter because the filesystem routines are in ROM, therefore you would be able to read FFS disks even if you boot with a 1.3 WB (it ain't windows... :)

It is likely that your floppies got damaged...

Also, Kickstart 2.x supports FFS, just not the Directory Cache mode which means that a 37.175 or better ROM chip would enable your A500 to read the disks as well...
