I thought maybe that was so, so I tried to format it as a
FAT-32 drive and W$ complained that it was too large. So
I thought, I would just partition it, but I never partitioned
it to two logical drives before before so I don't know
what's changed (it's W/2000). Right now, I am partitioning
it to two slices and formatting it with FAT-32.

I've been using this since linux had USB and Firewire
controllers. I really don't know what has changed.

Cheers,
