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.
