Any ideas on how to spoof a PC into seeing a thumb drive as something besides a drive volume?

Hmm not unless you could either change the architecture of the thumb drive or rewrite the driver software to recognize it as another device...?! What kind of device are you trying to have the thumb drive impersonate?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
