I'm hoping to do a little bit more: by formatting flash drives in a special
way we can gain compatability with a large number of BIOSes which are only
compatable with USB_ZIP, an older system which is very particular about what
it expects from a disk. There's very little potential for regression, and
this alternate formatting is (imho) easier to deal with.
