What type of flash ram?  Like a Compact Flash reader, or one of those
USB keychain hard drives?

I found a howto after googling to get an external USB hard drive caddy
to work, and I'm nearly positive that the Compact Flash reader and
keychains work the same way.  I believe it's USB SCSI emulation, and it
might require you to load a kernel module.
