If those are the same cards that many of us here bought, the consensus
was that you could read them on a 120/130, but only write to them on a
2000/21000. I know I ran into the same thing as you when I tried to use
them in my 120 with OS 2. Tried the same things you did. with no luck.
Put the card in my 2100, and had no problem formatting and writing to
it. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.........
