Not in my experience. I know that Apple once said this
because (probably) they haven't tested it with higher
capacity cards. I had no problem putting one of these
20MB cards into an OMP, format it, put the "Elements of
style" book onto it and actually read this book.

The reason for that isn't size, but the technology used.

Never tried to get my wishes across with a hammer as
far as cards are concerned. But I'm inclined to think
that this would be one of the few cases of failure :-)
