It depends. It wont work if you did format the whole SD card as FAT, max partition size is 32g for FAT32.
I do use a 64gb card
format the sd card as exFat (what i did)
- use the disktools provided by your operation system.
- create your un-formated virtual drive up to 2g (do this only once) (let say HD0.img)
- mount this into the mpc, format the virtual drive from there
- back to your computer host, duplicate that file, up to 7 drives. (well just 5 for the mpc, as if i remember 5, 6 where already taken )
So what about the wasted space ?
you could organise the sd with this layout :
Root--
--------| mpc2K --
------------------------| HD0.img
------------------------| HD1.img
------------------------| ....
--------| anotherOldGear --
------------------------| HD0.img
------------------------| HD1.img
------------------------| ....
Before switching from one gear to another, just modify the zuluscsi.ini file to look into the right folder.
Side note : If you plan to use into even older FAT compatible hardware, i would suggest 1g based virtual hds for maximum compatibility
