When I mentioned the write protect tab, I was thinking of flash  
cards... The camera kind of things. So never mind there! :-)

Anyway, I can't recreate your problem. I have 5 flash drives (128MB to  
8GB) connected to a usb hub and they all appear in the save menu,  
regardless of the the setting of the triangle!
This is only in Safari... I don't have other browsers readily available.
