I don't have a multimedia card but, my 512Meg CF card is FAT16.

Win2k definitely supports FAT16. When you format in Win9X/2K the OS chooses
FAT12 if the volume is <16Meg, FAT16 if between 16M and 2G and, FAT32 for
volumes >2G.

I don't use WinXP but, according info @ Microsoft, there is an advanced menu
option in the XP format dialog that lets you manually select the FAT type.
