32MB is the theoretical maximum with standard-size clusters, but I
think for over 16MB old MS-DOS will use FAT16. Maybe smaller.

You are going *wayyyyyy* too big.

Try starting with say 1MB and slowly doubling it... I reckon 8 or 16
is likely to be the maximum.

Remember that until Compaq DOS 3.31, the maximum size _for FAT16_ was 32MB.
