if it is switched to the usb storage type interface, then you should be
able to simply mount it as a disk, usually it should be either /dev/sda
or /dev/sda1 (depending on if it has partitions or not).  The driver is
'usb-storage' along with sd-mod (mod-sd?) and such.

If it is not in the usb storage setting., then it realy won't work at
all, you will just see it detecting an unknown usb device.

What does 'lsusb' show?
