The description of the product here:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11125
States that a microSD card of up to 2GB in size may be used. It says that the format of the card must be FAT. And this causes me to ask:
"If I have microSD card that is larger than 2GB in size (say an 8GB card) then can I partition it into a 2GB partition and format that partition for FAT and use it as an alternative to 2GB card by itself? I have a stack of > 2GByte micro SD cards and since FAT can only allocate up to 2GByte ... I am wondering that if I create a partition of 2GByte or less and format it FAT ... will it work?"
