I beileve the reason for this is that some older operating systems (such as=
 those using FAT16) cannot handle files larger than 2GB.  Most modern syste=
ms can handle larger files.   Remember the Olympus LS-11 is a fairly old re=
corder by modern computer standards and it is likely that when it was desig=
ned, these 2GB limitations would have been critical to people being able to=
 get their files off?  It does read cards that are FAT32 formatted, but I a=
lways assumed it was a backwards compatibility issue. =0D

 It does have the benefit of preventing a single file error from ruining a =
whole day of recording though.=0D
