Not yet, one of our guys has taken the unit away to make some measurements.=
 I should have it back in a few weeks.

Thanks for the hint,

Joe

Subject: Re: [PIC] Partitioning an 8GB USB drive for use with Microchip Mem=
ory  Disk Drive File System

Hi Joe,

I have not use this library, but according to Microchip MDD:

"Provides a method of interfacing to files and directories on FAT12, FAT16
and FAT32 file systems"

http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=3DSS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=3D=
2680&dDocName=3Den537999

Have you tried to format that SD to FAT32, and use the SUPPORT_FAT32 option
and then "see what happens" ?
