I never saw one, but according to: http://www.datadoctor.biz/data_recovery_programming_book_chapter3-page4.html 2.88mb drives used 1k clusters, so each entry in the file allocation table referred to 2 sectors. It also says 720 disks also use 2 sectors per cluster, which I didn't recall. So technically that pushes the limit to 4mb. It's possible that the code assumes it won't have to cope with any more than 720 x 1k clusters, especially if it keeps the entire FAT in RAM.Received on 2018-05-23 13:00:08
