[X4U] FAT

[Zane H. Healy]

Ah, I see the reason for confusion now. :-)  They really should 
specify.  It could also be that it decides on the fly.  In other 
words it *might* use FAT for something like a 1GB card, and FAT32 for 
something like a 16GB card.  I honestly don't know, but when you are 
already planning on formatting, this is one case where it doesn't 
hurt to try and see! :-)
