USB Flash disk

[Greg Hamilton]

That's what I thought so I tried manually mounting it as vfat but it 
didn't work. So I've tried reformatting it as UFS and HFS using OSX. In 
both cases I get a filesystem I can read/write in OSX and OS9 but not 
Linux.

I tried using mkfs to create a vfat filesystem but that didn't work 
either.
