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

[zefiro]

Some time ago I do something like that, ReOrg works "on the fly", I don't remember about mem requirement. Just try to be sure.

the filesystem of a disk during the optimization, e.g. from OFS to DC-FFS"

i hope that it's not destroing data too...

Just try on a backed up disk before try on originals one.
I used ReOrg regularly times ago for disks and harddrives
without problems.

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...

All sorted.

Thanks for all the help
