I have a similar problem in that I want to read the contents of a NAND flas=
h device being used as the mass storage of an embedded Linux device.

My thoughts have been to use a Microchip Explorer16 development kit availab=
le to me, and put the chip on a plug on board containing a suitable TSSOP s=
ocket. I have designed a PCB that I plan to get manufactured by Naked PCB a=
s it would be a once use and then program up the Explorer16 to read the chi=
p and transfer it to a host over USB. Any further manipulation of the dump =
can then be done on the PC.

I my case I expect the file system to be YFFS or one of the other similar L=
inux file systems for FLASH. In the case of a USB stick I guess it could be=
 FAT32, for which there is plenty of documentation around, so it shouldn't =
be too hard to read the dump once you have it.
