Is there any support for greater than 512 byte sector size FAT volumes? I'm trying to view a NAND disk with a 2048 byte sector size but the FAT table processing isn't working correctly. The boot sector template correctly displays the sector size as 2048 bytes but all other references to the sector size are listed as 512. This of course causes all of the calculations for total size, FAT1 and FAT2 offsets, directory entries, etc to be incorrect.

If greater than 512 byte sector sizes are not currently supported, is there any plan to include them in a future release?

FAT volumes with cluster sizes other than 512 bytes, including 2048 bytes, are already supported. I will now e-mail you a sample image that demonstrates that. If your FAT volume is not correctly processed, perhaps you can provide an image file or at least the first 64 or 10,000 sectors perhaps.
