Well, the spec says anything over 2GB is high capacity, and should be
accessed using block addressing.  However, the 4GB card I used
reported itself as not high-capacity, and was addressable via byte
addressing.  This works, because 4GB is addressable that way, but it's
technically in violation of the spec.

Hmm...I'm not managing to find an actual card online for sale.  Do you
have a link?  We had a high-capacity SD card, but no MMC card.

Yours is clearly a proper high-capacity card.  :)
