OK, this is just so weird. Referencing t'internet....I come across several
references on how to format a MMC card for the Nokia 6230i. The only problem
is, about 50% of what I've read tells me to format with the FAT file
system......and 50% say format with the FAT32 file system. And now I'm just
doubly confused. Also, the ones who say format with FAT32 system say that if
you format the card from within the phone.....that it [wrongly] formats with
the FAT file system...and so to use your PC to format it, either by a card
reader or via your PC/Windows in USB storage mode (where the flashcard will
show up as a storage device).
What a man to do???? :/

AFAIK all the Nokia memory cards need to be formatted in FAT 16.

Yeah, which is same as FAT. It seems you're right. The people, of which
there are many it seems, saying use FAT32, are just plain talking out of
their bottoms. I referenced a Moby Memory (MMC/SD card specialists) pdf help
file, it clearly says use FAT (or FAT16, as you call it).
Cheers.
