FAT16 is not a reason for using small CF cards. You can use FAT32 as well. (Why did you use FAT16 at all? Isn't FAT32 the default and aren't the cards already formatted as FAT32 when you buy them?)

Sorry, I am confused, so what is the LARGEST capacity that I can use on PCMCIA adapter, 2GB? 4GB? 8GB?


The readme mentions TD64 and SCSI emulation, so it can clearly do more than 4 GB. Now it depends on how compactflash.device accesses the IDE drive. The readme says nothing about this. Limits could be 7.8 GB (CHS), 128 GB (LBA28), 2 TB (LBA48 with SCSI emulation) or 131072 TB (LBA 48). I would guess that it does LBA28.
