Ralph,
Your right to a certain degree. What I meant was that FAT32 is
limited to 4gb chunks. Meaning if you tried to tansfer anything larger than
4gb - say 6gb *.bmp, Windows will tell you that the receiving device is
full.
It's a limitation of FAT32, not necessarily Windows or the hardware.
I'm wondering if this is the reason why Treos report 8gb cards as only
being 4gb. So has any formatted their 8gb card as NTFS - and then tried
reading it in a Treo? Does it report the correct 8gb size now?
Regards,
Jose
