Turns out FAT12 goes to 64 meg ... but further research indicated that it wasn't the file system that was causing the camera to reject the card, it was the corrupt CIS ...
I'm guessing the manufacturer of the camera wasn't able to help.
This sorta thing tended to happen a lot with the older Diamond Rio MP3 players because when they reformatted cards they wrote their own CIS's onto the cards and caused digital cameras to reject them. There is a well documented hack to get around it on the Rio as well as on the Zio cardreader/writer but none of them seem to want to work on the PCMCIA adapter I've got :-/And the camera doesn't interface with the PC via USB or anything. Too bad you can't just buzz them with a magnetic scrambler and reformat like people would do with FDs.
How bout sending it back to the mfg for regrooving? (firesign theater)
I read posts from people on the NEX group who have all kinds of problems with different brands of CF cards and types of problems. >I'm< even having problems with this L100 having problems with my CF adaptor. I can plug it in, take it out, and repeat the process... and somewhere between 1-X points along the line, the system freezes.
On another subject, didn't you say you had W2000 set up on a L100 Raymond? When I get the 32MB RAM upgrade, and o/c to 266, I'd really like to go to W2K if it can run the majority of apps I use.
