I think 32m is your largest "safe" bet. I have heard of some 64m cards
working but not all.

Notion is wonderful database system. Very flexible and easy to export
the data off of it. Another possibility is ebase, but only works on
2x00's as it requires Works. Not quite as flexible with its exporting
but certainly is very easy considering there is a desktop version you
can export directly to. If you need something simple and easy and don't
mind it being on a 2x000 only I would say give ebase a try. If you
want a powerhouse of a database program then go with Notion. Notion
will definitely do it, and I believe it is now public domain.
