Maybe it isn't really vfat? I do remember some problems with
preformatted zip disks and MSDOS vs. Win filesystem types. I liked to
take a few of my disks and use Linux to make the disk vfat on

I guess because the entire disk is 'hfs' (the partition starts at the
very front) or maybe the hfs part of the mounter can figure it out?
(I have no idea what 'hfs' is nor have I used it)
