USB storage devices in 2.2-kernels are not supported, IMHO.
However, 2.4-kernels support at least some USB CD burners,
e.g. HP CD Writer 8230e (with kernel 2.4.0-test9).
(see http://www.linux-usb.org/ for more on this)
Another question is of course whether these kernels would work
on your PPC machine...
