Out of curiosity, could you hit it via PACE?  Or perhaps write your own MI
drivers for it?

To start with, the question would be "How?"

There is no support for USB in IBM i so you can't hang it directly from 
the system. You could hang it from a PC attached to the system but how 
would you get the data to the drive? You could do a backup to Virtual 
Tape and then FTP the virtual tape image to the PC and through that to 
the USB drive.

Clearly not practical in my estimation.
