title: How to use usb flash or virtual drive to act as a plug and play device?
body: <p>I am trying to find a way to mimic a USB device being connected without actually having it available. I am trying to develop an additional feature to software that is only fully unlocked when the USB device is connected to the computer. Because the client is unable to provide a demo device for me to use here shortly, I'd like to find a way to emulate or mimic the connectivity of the device so I can finish development. Can I do this with a flash drive perhaps? Find someway to copy the files so that when I insert the flash drive it acts as a plug and play device?</p>
