I'm not an expert on this, but as far as I understand it the first
problem that needs to be solved is properly registering USB devices in
the device tree in the registry. This doesn't even involve Windows USB
drivers and is as "simple" as advertising a USB mass storage device
that's handled by Linux / OSX as a USB mass storage device instead of
a fixed hard drive, with the proper vendor and device ID etc.
