FAT32 fixed that.  Of course 1GB can easily be formated with FAT16
although you end up with rather large block size in that case.  Not sure
if all media card devices would support fat32 of course.  If they don't
they will have a problem going past 2 or 4GB cards of course.  It isn't
as if they haven't had close to 10 years to get around to supporting
FAT32.
