I must say, SuperCard Team seem to be really improving their image. I mean, that flash is pretty sleek, but have you seen the menu on the new SC? It's about 3 billion times better than the old menus, in my opinion anyway.

What's the advantage of FAT32 vs FAT16? Speed?

QuoteIn order to overcome the volume size limit of FAT16, while still allowing DOS real-mode code to handle the format without unnecessarily reducing the available conventional memory, Microsoft decided to implement a newer generation of FAT, known as FAT32, with cluster counts held in a 32-bit field, of which 28 bits are currently used.

That would mean you could theoretically use this on the supercard: http://www.computer-memory-store.com/qmemory-sd-150x-8gb.html

so... the only reason we might possible want fat32 is so we can have bigger cards, no performance improvement whatsoever?

I think you can order things by name and by date and things, the File Allocation Table (FAT) is different.
