I can boot my X31 from my 256MB Memory Corp USB flash device - but it
fails to boot from the no-name 16M flash device I have, since that
device does not support the boot protocol.

Make sure your USB flash device supports the boot protocol, remember to
install a boot sector on the device - and remember to modify the BIOS
boot options to boot off the USB device (listed as a harddisk in my
BIOS).

Sincerely,
Brix
