Perhaps you could get the best of both worlds. Format the card with
a FAT file system containing one large file. If the micro only writes
bytes within that file, and the format is understood within that
file by both the micro, and the Windows app. the OS need only
know that there is a file there, not how to interpret it.

The circular buffering will just occur within the large binary
area that is 'the file'.
