Re: [ARSCLIST] CF cards, FAT16 formatting, Windows XP and some older JVC Portable Rom Players

According to the developer's handbook for creating audio programs for
use with these units the CF cards need to be "MSDOS formatted." I
assume this means FAT. All fine and good, right? Well, I learned (the
hard way, actually) that FAT32 isn't exactly fully compatible with the
players. I've also learned that Windows XP doesn't allow for FAT16
formatting.
Are you sure of that last? Open a DOS box, try
format /?
and follow instructions. FAT is allowed and distinguished from FAT32, so
is surely FAT16.
