I assume you are talking about the credit-card CD capacity.
It may not be necessary a typo.
According to the "orange book" the maximum permissible tolerances
for CDR allow for a maximum 650 Mb.
However there are CDRs with higher capacity. It just means that
they don't follow the "orange book" and -- presumably --
one may have difficulties reading them with some CD readers.
It may be possible that the maximum allowable ("orange book") size for
a business card CD is 35 Mb but there may be some with higher capacity
storage. I simply don't know but from 35 to 47 there is a 30% increase
IMHO too much even allowing for rule bending.
