If you are lucky, and this disk is supported as a USB mass storage device, you can mount it as a SCSI HD. Check your /var/log/messages file (or "dmesg") after plugging it in, you should see a message somewhere assigning a SCSI drive letter to the device (like, "sda" for example). Then, you simply "mkdir /mnt/whatever", "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/whatever". This is of course assuming it is preformatted as vfat. Naturally, this can all be automated my using the usual /etc/fstab entries, and also my using autofs.
