This is the most important thing, and a must IMO. If this check is
implemented (and only relying on the checksum, not on the time stamp,
because the accuracy of the latter is as low as 2 seconds on FAT) then no
dataloss can happen. The menu stuff is then a bonus: Fine if it works, can
be useful for some people, but not essential.
