I've just been experimenting a little with a couple of flash devices, FAT16 formatted, and I can read files from them using FileCore_SectorOp, which means I'm not limited to 2GB.Its because foreign formats are handled as image filing systems, and accessed via a file handle, therefor the are restricted to the maximium file size of 2GB. DOSFS could be re-written to use SectorOps of the underlying filing system to avoid this restriction, but hasn't.
If you're interested, you can try this... http://www.iol.ie/~djkoshea/misc/dosfs2.htmlIt's IYONIX only and I haven't done any work on it in ages, but IIRC for simple reading it should be usable.
