I don't know about what David is doing this for,

something[1] that uses a CF card for storage, which claims it won't
work with >128MB cards (and it actually didn't work when I tried a
large one in it).
I had a similar problem with a 4GB CF card in my digicam. Just flat
out gave the "card not usable" message and refused to do anything.
On a hunch, I plugged it into my Windoze system and did a FORMAT
/FS:FAT (to get a 16-bit FAT) and the thing worked fine, with the
exception of the exposure count reading "999".
I've got three 192MB cards here and will happily swap them for
something larger.
