[NTLK] Formatting a 2 GiB CF card so that it doesn't crash?

[marius hristache]

I'm using 2 GB Amtron smart ATA card and a 4GB Amtron smart ATA.Both Newtons are running fine,a little bit slower but not to much..I installed Heap Magic and with 320 heap it's fine.4 partitions for applications,Books,Games and Music.Better not to activate automount when you start the Newtons.Beacuse are smart cards are acting like linear flash,I mean are acting quicker than normal ATA.

Is this possible? I think the partitions are too big for the eMate to
handle, even on 4 partitions, and my eMate becomes uselessly slow and
crashy.
