Do you have more details on these quirks ? I've access at only two
USB-FDD BIOS, and in both of them this format is working.

The only difference than a standard FDD format is only the unusual
value of the number of "hidden"  sectors after the FAT boot sector.
Maybe this can confuse some BIOS.

Anyway, on my understanding this is the most compatible format.
