i must be slow because i tend to agree with Adrian here.  if the VMU is a 
simple block device, then while the filesystem format may have been tailored 
to the exact hardware layout of the VMU, it doesnt mean that the resulting 
filesystem spec will only work on that hardware.  then again, i didnt read the 
entire source code from top to bottom ...
