Mac instructions above will now work for exFAT.So if your question was 'What's the difference between MS-DOS FAT and Windows FAT', the answer would be MS-DOS uses FAT16 while Windows uses FAT32.FAT32 (File Allocation Table) Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X. AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT Maximum file size: 16 EiB Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive.
