Peter-
That sounds encouraging.

I have a couple of the CF/IDE converters coming (the one Mark recommended in the CF Empeg thread).

Hopefully, once I have the 16GB card I can just poke at the MBR with a hex editor. My plan is to look at the Carbon table next to a standard FAT32 table and try to sort out the differences.

I know the CF is OK since it takes a standard format to 16GB no problem.
