OK so I have an unusual technical question. Suppose you have a Whistler WS1080 or an older PSR-800 and that you record all of the audio to a microSD card. But perhaps instead of plugging the scanner into a computer (or pulling out the microSD card into an adapter) every day to retrieve your audio, suppose there was a way to send the audio over to the computer automatically as it is recorded. I have seen microSD sniffers online which appear to allow access to the bus containing the data transfer, but I don't think that's what I would need.

Are there any devices in existence that would be able to emulate a microSD card in such a way that you could plug the microSD half into a scanner that is actively writing data to the card and that it would then send the data to a computer via a USB connection or something? I realize that there would generally be a sharing violation between the shared filesystem and the scanner/computer, however with new technology, I'm just curious if this kind of thing is possible. Basically what I would like to see is a way to have the scanner write it's data/audio files to a removable drive whose filesystem is always accessible to a computer. Is this possible?
