This is not a 49/50g restriction. According to Wikipedia[1] "For
historical reasons, FAT12 and FAT16 media generally use 512 root
directory entries on non-floppy media."

Since every HP variable and Directory are a FAT16 file (as seen on a
computer) they are restricted to a max. number of 512.

I'll try messing around with mkdosfs a bit to see whether the calc
will tolerate more.
