This may be splitting hairs, but you don't need to format it in a 200LX.
I have a laptop that has a PCMCIA slot and I used that to format the
card. Worked fine. You need to format it again on the OG, but that
seems to just build the directory structure. You would kind of think
that Direct Mobil might be able to format it for you, wouldn't you?

Oddly enough, I get errors when I use my laptop to transfer files to the
>card, but I'm assuming that the data transfer rates is too high.
