I've skimmed some official documents and some Apple developer documents, and
my non-expert opinion is you cannot do what you want with complete
reliability. The USB specification does not appear to support any "device
type" (i.e., floppy, flash drive, CD-ROM, etc.) information; what I find is
support for some device characteristics and protocols.
If it were me and I didn't have to support a large number of different
devices, I'd use rules the the ones above and add new rules as I came
across new devices.
