USB sticks usually do have a MBR, although I've heard of
formatting one as a floppy (no MBR).


Aye. I don't see much point in having partitions on a usb stick myself,
but.. to each his own.


You must mean "more than one", since with no partitions a MBR drive is
useless.

I've heard that Windows will not access more than one partition, but
other OSes will.
