Re: CF cards >32MB

["Bill Moy" <billmoy718@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe the 32Mb limitation is based on the addressing capabilities of
8088 cpu technology.  I remember a discussion of this as it relates to using
the IOMega Zip parallel external drive with such palmtops like Poqet and
Sharp PC3K.  You might find these discussions doing a Google search of the
software PalmZip.  For example, you can use a 100Mb Zip disk with palmtops
but you must partition the disk into 3 drives each under 32Mb (or something
like that.)
Another fully satisfying explanation of this limitation is within the online
book about assembly language "The Art of Assembly."

Hope this helps...  --Bill
