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:

Thanks.
Your comment about blaming Microsoft reminded me of a comment made by
David Bradley I believe that is his name:
"I may have invented it but Bill made it popular"
He is the IBM Engineer that developed the Alt-Ctrl-Delete for PCs.......
