message from yaya:

* USBExFAT do its "ExFAT to FAT file entries" conversion job well, all other things are done by DOS and DOSLFN. As the cluster size is different between ExFAT and FAT, hidden zero length directory entries are filled at the end. It shouldn't be a problem if hidden files are not shown.

* For writing support, it is highly recommended to do with DOSLFN loaded. Without DOSLFN, writing to long filename may fail.
