I assumed that USB-ZIP was for Iomega zip drives attached by USB. In any case,
I tried it, with results identical to USB-FDD and USB-CDROM -- it ignored
the USB-stick.
Not sure why you're having so many problems, although I admit that I hand punched in a few values in the boot sector to make sure mine booted. What's the brand and size of your flash drive? If I see one locally and its cheap enough, maybe I'll grab it and see if it's bootable here. When first reading up on the subject on the net, I saw a passing comment of some flash drives being unbootable, although that could have been operator error, of course.
