Thanks for your quick helps!

The first time I used the cards on Amiga I didn't format them. I installed cfd and fat95, then inserted and they were immediately good for reading/writing. Then I tried to format on PC and they worked again on PC and Amiga.

I've no problem with PC-Windows. Win XP format them OK: Fat or Fat 32 (suggest me one for Amiga use), Normal or Quick don't create problems to Amiga for reading/writing.

The only problem is that Amiga/Workbench/CLI can't format them. I tried the option normal and quick in the Amiga format window (and trash/no trash) but same result.

I don't know if Amiga format command has verify option included.

To be sharp I'm enough sure Amiga succeeded one or two times at beginning, but then it didn't repeat. (Perhaps did I dream??).

Low level format in HD Tool Box can be a solution?
