Formatted the large flash drive as NTFS, shrank the volume by 8GB, formatted to FAT32.
FAT32 partition is now recognized on the drive. Ill play with different sizes, but good progress and fairly easy to do

Is this a hardware or firmware limitation? Possible future compatibility update?
(We are not allowed to use externally supplied USB drives or ethernet communications)
I don't think the size is the limit, but the file system is. The printers are Linux based and Linux does not really have very good support for NTFS. FAT32 can be as big as 8TB? So why not just try big partitions with FAT32?

I think that would work, but there isnt a super easy way (without other software) to format them in Win10 (i had to do something in PowerShell)

Personally I have not used windows since '95, so I am afraid I'm the wrong person to ask this 😉

New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.-

I'm not certain but I think the answer is 32GB. I read that the BBB can only read up to 32GB uSD cards so I figure maybe the S5 (which doesn't use BBB but maybe for the same reason) can also only go up to 32GB. Something happens there maybe.
Also 4GB can be addressed by 32 bits so that limit would make sense but I doubt that's the limit. I'm going to guess 32GB.
