exFAT is actually a very different format from FAT 16/32. Although some
characteristics and on-disk structures remain the same or similar, things like
allocation is handled in a completely different way.
Adding exFAT support to FullFAT would be the equivalent of writing a whole new
filesystem driver. Unfortunately Microsoft haven't released open specifications
of
exFAT so its not in my interest to reverse engineer it.
I'm currently writing a public domain filesystem that provides all the benefits
of
exFAT, except is completely open. I'll also be providing open-source
implementations
for Windows, Linux, and also a generic embedded driver like FullFAT.
