I must admit, disc sizes and capacities have always confused me as the
whole things seems to be a bit of a minefield. I've an external 80GB PC
formatted USB2 drive which appears to work fine on the Iyonix (and allowed
me to save a 36MB file on it), whereas I've another drive which looks
pretty much the same and didn't work at all - which I subsequently
formatted to RISC OS format and now both work fine, both 80GB.
