Some can, yes. Quality of media varied considerably. I was looking ata site this week where the author does disk conversion. There are some brands that he refuses to work with.
Having recently resurrected my Amiga 4000 I can confirm. Some old floppies refuse to format.
Cool stuff. I was financially strapped about 1.5 years ago - and I sold my old Amiga 1000 - which had a Whole bunch of stuff like RAM upgrades (6MB for potential to 10MB - even though initial RAM pack in front was only 256KB) , external HD & some cool CG SW. Your comment made me bummed I sold that sucker. Oh well...
