You would have to format a 4 gb card for fat32, the fat file system only
allows up to 2.1 gb per partition.

more confused. If I am formating one of these 4 gigabyte cards other than
on the unit am I understanding right that I want to format it for Fat 32 or
am I wrong? I take it that there are issues formating that large a card for
FAT? I know I should be more sure of the answer to this question, but guess
I just haven't been paying close enough attention.
