I think the closest you're (easily) going to get is to buy a compact- 
flash card & USB cf-card reader. Placing the cf-card into the reader  
and plugging that into the USB port will cause it to appear & behave  
like a "thumb drive" on a modern PC.

CF cards have a substantially-EIDE interface and you can cheaply get  
an adaptor - I think it's just a pin convertor - that allows this to  
be plugged into a standard EIDE cable. EIDE was, I'm sure, standard  
on my first Pentium, so hopefully it will work with your 486, too??
