PLEASE NOTE:
Numerous cameras that do NOT support FAT32 will be incompatible with the 4Gig or 6Gig Microdrive: Up to now, the Compact Flash storage devices have used either a 12-bit or 16-bit FAT. Digital cameras and MP3 players have been designed to read and write using this table structure. With the coming of the 4GB Microdrive, the 16-bit FAT is not large enough to handle all the sectors. With 16 bits, only 65536 clusters can be represented and with the maximum cluster size of 32K bytes, only 2.14 GB can be accommodated in a single FAT. Therefore the Hitachi 4GB and 6GB Microdrives are shipped pre-formatted for FAT 32. Please check the table below to assure compatibility of your digital camera with the 6Gig Microdrive:
