FAT12 was originally designed for use on floppies. It uses 12 bit to address
DiskClusters, hence the name. Since it restricts DiskClusters to a maximum
size of 16Kb, it can handle around 64MB total storage space at most.

FAT16 There's a 2-GB partition limit imposed by the maximum number of
clusters and the largest cluster size supported by the FAT file system. The
FAT file system is limited to 65,525 clusters. The size of a cluster must be
a power of 2 and less than 65,536 bytes--this results in a maximum cluster
size of 32,768 bytes (32K). Multiplying the maximum number of clusters
(65,525) by the maximum cluster size (32,768) equals 2 GB.

Then there are some minimum limitations that start to come in to play when
considering FAT32
It's around 260Mb, the maximum is of little concern at the moment (over 2
Terrabytes).

I'm using a 1GB Kingmax on my Mio 168, works fine. What's the GB limit on
these things anyway?
