Why do most digital cameras and other electronic devices with removable media have a max supported card capacity?
Typically, I think this probably happens when you introduce a new media technology to an older reader. For example, last year, I bought a new 4MB memory card for my older digital camera. When the company built the digital camera, the maximum card available was 2MB Theoretically, there might be a firmware upgrade that would allow my camera to comprehend the concept of 4 MB of space, but as is, it can’t comprehend anything bigger than a 2 MB card. A company that planned for the long haul might build their equipment to accept peripherals that are currently drawing board concepts, but one tiny change in the new technology might render their effort null-and-void. (my last laptop had a cutting edge LS-120 drive that used a 120MB disc in a drive that also read standard 3.5″ floppies.
