I've been messing around with the file manager (on the Zoomer) and
noticed the same problem that HP100?xx users having been getting. That is
the 5mb educalc card stores info in 4k chunks.. (Dos cluster limitation on
disk storage based on disk size) and the internal B: drive stores in 1k
chunks. Well to make a long story short, your getting scr-wed when storing
alot of <4k files on the 5mb disk, cause its slicing away 4k at a time.
Stacker users need not worry about this. Well someone in there forum has
pointed to a 1k_cluster program which allows you to use only 1k at time.
I'm going to see if the works (after I backup everything first ;-) ).

If anyone has any contact with Sundisk, see if they have any drivers
that allows you to modify storage sizes. Otherwise the only other advice is,
keep your small files on B: and anything over 4k on C:.
