Edited in case this helps anyone else...
Any file system that preserves long filenames (FAT formatted CF card, PFS, OS 3.2 FFS with long filenames enabled) will cause this issue. Regular FFS truncates the long filenames on write, and that is what makes the files readable in Protracker.
I understood you, and that does work, but the question is now why is this only happening on the A1200? I need to reiterate that the A600 "just works" with the same OS version and even the same hard disk image. No file renaming is required.
With the PFS partition shown in the screenshot, I...
I didn't know that setting existed because I've never had to change it on any other system. Increasing it hasn't helped.

Thanks for your help. You pointed me in the right direction.
Whenever I copy the files on the A1200, their names are silently truncated, and then the absence of a .MOD extension confuses Protracker.
This may be somehow related to Kickstart version, since I'm using the same filesystem on both...
I have some MOD files that open on an A600 with Furia (68020) card. They also work on various non-Amiga players.
On an A1200 with 68030, all versions of Protracker I've tried (2.3d, 2.3f, 3.15) complain "Can't open file!". These are the same versions of Protracker that are working on the...
Looking for an A3010 motherboard. Missing parts/ICs no problem. Also happy to do some battery corrosion repair if it doesn't mean running 100 jumper wires.
