I was reminded recently that exFAT has been open sourced.
Is there any insight into what it would take to add support for it to Classic Mac OS? In particular, Mac OS 8 and newer that have existing good support for USB and Firewire mass storage. (Although: adding exFAT as a substitute for HFS+ on 7.x would be hilarious and good as well.)
If someone's looking for a project, this is mostly useful for interoperability purposes, and if it works with ASIP, to be completely honest, I would change the vtools strategy from eight 2TB disks to a single, like, 12TB disk, which would be beneficial, so I'd be happy to help test.
(Even without that particular use case, exFAT is becoming common as a starter format for flash drives and SD cards, and it's a format that newer Mac OS and Windows also both have in common.)
