The issue is that FAT formatted drives are restricted to the number of files (not directories) that you can have in the root directory. I can't remember the number, but its pretty low.

Pretty obscure trivia these days, since everything is FAT32, but it was occasionally an issue in the good old 3.3 days....the DOS 3.3 days, that is.
