I have no idea what you're talking about ... What's FAT and FAT32?
Some
kind of formatting or card type or software?
FAT (short for FAT16) and FAT32 refer to the directory structure used
in nearly all flash media storage cards. FAT is an acronym that means
"File Allocation Table". The FAT16 specification allows for up to 2
gigabyte volumes, FAT32 can theoretically allows for 2 terabyte volumes.
The DS body, with rev 1.0 firmware, supported FAT16. Firmware rev
1.02 or 1.03 (can't remember at this point) solved some issues with
FAT16 formatted cards larger than 1 gigabyte and implemented FAT32
compatibility. I believe this is the same code now used with firmware
rev 2.
whew, talk about geekiness. '-)
All you need to know is that the DS with firmware rev 2 supports all
currently existing SD card sizes. I don't know why the D was even
mentioned since you asked about the DS.
