I have, but not in a nice way. I have a tiny board that accepts a USB device on one aide then spits out serial on the other side. Using this board, and a TTL to RS232 adapter, I can then send special serial commands to read and write files to the stick.

It would take coding up HDB-DOS or an OS-9 driver to use it in a more graceful way.

The USB interface board and TTL adapter was maybe $10 or so.
