Indeed. According to MS, exFAT is specifically designed for removable media
like flash drives (and possibly external hard drives?). It is proprietary, but
has been hacked enough that there are Linux drivers, and someone also has
created a read-only DOS driver (that requires ASPI).
Also, FWIW,
ike OS's that "pop", it's extremely
satisfying... like my mom's windows 3.1 on a pentium mobo with 32MB, it pops)

I tried it with MS-DOS 6.2 and it didn't work. I'll try to remember to test it
again someday (not in a position to do it now).

Definitely /not just/ MS- DOS 7.
