If you are looking for professional help contact me off list.

If your just looking for a poke in the right direction then the correct
way of doing this would be to use the userland USB library (libusb)
which can talk to your drive via the appropriate kernel module.  I've
been using this to interface with my Velleman K8055 interface board
which also has a USB interface.  Works well - no problems.
