Hi Tom,

You can use the Linux kernel "USB storage gadget" to cause the gumstix
to emulate a USB storage device to a host computer.  Check out
http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/file_storage.html

There are limitations, and I'm not sure that direct access to the MMC
card will work (but I think it could be made to work).
