I have acquired my CF card reader/writer.

Do you think I should get the 32Mb size that the original card is? Would it make a difference? Most cards I can find are much larger...

Disks can have partitions that don't cover the whole drive, so there is no problem making a 32MB FAT16 partition on a 1GB card. This is exactly what happens if you raw copy a smaller card onto a bigger one. To use the extra space you need to fix the partition table to include the rest of the card space.

There might be limitations however in how the cards handle addressing. So it is possible an old device might not be able to read a 32GB card because something overflows. With SD cards one of those limits is 2GB

What? 32MB was a issue in 2003! :D
But better don't fill the forum with crap, instead use any online cloud storage like mediafire, Google drive, mega, anonfiles...

Individual files bigger then 4MB can't be attached here, and the max for a single post is 10 files and 5MB total 8)

Long live the file stitcher!

One thing the thread may have overlooked:

What's the make and model of the machine in which this CF card is being used?

Post the make and model please.  Thanks.
