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,

This is surprising, you should retry, you may have been mistaken somehow IMHO. 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). ASPI is not the level doing disk access, it is a wrapper for DOS around the SCSI
