What version of Kickstart does the A500 have?  If it has 1.3 and the drive is being formated on the A3000 using the FFS option in Workbench 2.0 or above then I don't think the A500 will be able to read the drive.

Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.

I believe KS 1.3 only supports OFS and is not capable of reading FFS  floppy or harddisks.  I believe FFS didn't come out until 2.0.  I can rember FFS floppies could hold several Kb more on a disk than OFS and I wished I could read them on one of my KS1.3 machines.

edit: Found this...

"A replacement for the Old File System that allowed more to be stored on a disk. On Kickstart 1.3 this was stored on disk meaning that it was impossible to boot directly from FFS disks, but since Kickstart 2.04 it has been stored in ROM since version 2."
