    initial v1  
    11FAT12 is not slower than FAT16 or FAT32. I have a 32 MB FAT12 partition on my hard disk, for testing purposes, and it works very quick. As I said, floppies are slow because of inefficient caching. Real floppy support should cache tracks. So, here some additional work is required. A Switch for *disabling* a particular drive letter would be good, of course. But it is hard to process. It is easier to white-list required drive letters. If you need USB flash disk with constant drive letter, please create an LVM info with an explicit drive letter. To ignore *any* drive letter, you just need to delete the /fat switch.

    3 PS: I thought about such a syntax: /fat:cdx-w, so that c:, d: and x: are enabled, but x: is disabled, but I am not sure how to process such command line. This may require an additional "disable" bitmask, probably. Need to think about that again. Maybe, "disable" and "enable" bitmasks should be mutually exclusive. So that, only "enable" or only "disable" masks should be specified. A "disable" mask should be prepended with a minus sign, like this: /fat:-dx, which means, disable d: and x: and enable all other drives.
