All USB data already has to go through your USB drivers. So you've got a software solution vector right there.

Yeah, but software can be mismanaged.

Perhaps a solution would be a combination of the two. E.g. dongle converts USB protocol to (say) XYZ protocol, and software converts from XYZ protocol to readable filesystem.

And hardware can't be mismanaged?
