U3 and other firmware USB thumbdrives

[Karl Schmidt <karl@xtronics.com>]

Last time I messed with this, there was only U3 - it appears that there are a bunch of different
systems now.  There was a U3 removal tool at that time - what is the situation today? Is there a
particular brand that just provides storage and non of this garbage?

I need to find a 32GB USB drive that I can dd copy with - without having troubles with some embedded
firmware..
