Thanks for correcting me, Larry. I don't know *where* I came up with 
that. Perhaps fat16 partition limit.

That wikipedia link is very good. Kinda weird that the max file size is 
4G on all 3 fat varieties, up to the partition size. So fat16 could 
handle a 4G file, except the partition can only be 2G. Go figure.
