The normal format is entirely dependent on the capacity of the card and ordinarily has nothing to do with the device in which the card is used. I don't know if the BP would format a 4 Gb card FAT32 or not, but I'm pretty sure that's the format that it would come in from the manufacturer. A 1 Gb card, I'm pretty sure, ships formatted as FAT. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Turner" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 12:12 PM Subject: [bookport] FAT32 Question I thought I read on the list that the Book Port now uses FAT32, which allows for the larger mp3 files and larger CF cards. However, when I format a card in the book port and then check the properties in my card reader, it shows up as FAT. I have the latest firmware installed. Any clarification would be appreciated.
