Well, the mass storage interface is going to take custom code
somewhere.

You may want to look at beyondlogic.com for some USB information.

The FTDI chips look like a serial device, not like a mass storage
device.

Cypress have a microcontroller with USB controller on it; this is
being used several places that I've seen (like in my USB mouse that
has a CF card reader). I'm sure there are other USB micros.
