Hi Bob, The limitation is for cards greater than 2GB. This Limitation is due to the fact that some systems (and cameras) out there still use an older FAT16 format. With this format, the largest usable space is 2GB, even if the card can hold more than that (blame Microsoft for "designing" FAT16 that way). Hence the solution is to allow a 4GB card to be used as two cards of 2GB each (for FAT16 systems), or one single 4GB card for FAT32 or other formats, by flipping switches on the card. See here for some more info on the FAT32/16 issue: http://tinyurl.com/cfzxo or http://cwdixon.com/support/win98_support/fat32.htm HTH - Harman __________________________________ Yahoo!
