In Linux remember to compile and install the new makebootfat 1.2 program before creating USB disks.
It improves the support of USB input devices and it fixes some issues with the audio volume control.
The USB disk format used is compatible with both the USB-FDD (Floppy Disk Drive) and USB-HDD (Hard Disk Drive) BIOS boot modes.
To support both the format, it's used a custom MBR sector that can be also interpreted as a FAT boot sector. For example, in Linux you can mount the devices /dev/sda and also /dev/sda1. Both are valid FAT filesystems.
For the USB disk the syslinux boot tool is used. For the Fixed disk partition the FreeDOS and loadlin tools are used.
