Yes, Windows XP sees it as a 960MB FAT16 "drive".

And when formatting it under Windows XP it never gave me the option to up
this number, so somewhere (boot block, MBR?) the concept of 960MB is retained.

Did you intend to have me put this ZIP file on the SD card using Windows XP
or FreeBSD, or does it matter?  I wish I didn't have to touch Windows XP at
all, grrr...   :-(
