It was 64MB card also. :)
AFAIR, FAT12 is just not correct format for disks larger than 32Mb.
It has to use clusters not handled by original MSDOS in this case.

So, my answer is: SE just use wrong FAT.

But, meanwile, it should be ok to allow this insanity be handled.
Despite I'd rather use smaller clusters for such a tiny drive.

It's a 64MB memory stick using FAT12.

MSDOS 3.3 will go crazy with that :)
