What is the modern "Floppy-Based" router based on?

[Leo Mauler]

The main problem with the CF card solution is that the
CF card has no "write-protect" feature.  The original
reason this topic was brought up in the first place
was that floppy-based routers have easily switched
write-protect tabs, allowing one to easily edit the
floppy if necessary, then switch it back to
write-protect mode for normal operation.

Now, someone else has pointed out that there are a few
USB memory keys which have write-protect tabs, which
would make them an ideal substitute for the
floppy-based router.
