About the File system
**************************************************************************************************************************
Important note – due to the inclusion of a new FAT32 driver the file system is not backwards compatible. This means that 
it is possible to playback recordings made with pre-105_v602 software, but it is not possible to playback recordings made 
with 105_v602 software (or later) with pre-105_v602 software version (in case the user loads pre-105_v602 software).
