usb-storage is really just SCSI, so if you want to try to do this, you
are going to have to write a scsi driver for the calculator.  Not
something you probably really want to do :(

Odd are this would be a much simpler userspace program instead, as you
can control USB devices directly from userspace, no kernel driver
needed.
