I'm sure that they don't support anything other than FAT and if they did
you would still not want to do it. Journaling is bad, bad, bad to use on
flash drives. It wears them out. Granted, it sounds as if the dictation
equipment is junk and routinely destroys the drives anyway...

Probably the best solution involves frequent backups and lots of spares.
