A friend pointed me to this Kickstarter for LibraryBox:

"LibraryBox is an anonymous fileserver based on cheap hardware that runs on
little power and serves files to any wifi-enabled device with a browser. It
is a fork of the Open Source project PirateBox, altered to be more
comfortable to use for libraries, educators, and anyone else that has a
need to serve files in locations that lack reliable, unfiltered
connectivity with the Internet."

The photo suggests a TP-Link TL-MR3020 or TL-WN703N, indeed with an
itty-bitty flash drive in the USB jack.

Likewise, I'm about to deploy my 2nd TL-MR3020 as a repeater node for
WasabiNet, having finally squeezed enough of the firmware into 4MB to get
mesh + AP + coovachilli all onboard.

It is neat to see a low-cost platform like the TL-MR3020, whose intended
use as "3G travel modem" is kinda worthless, but which nevertheless enables
quite a diversity of community wifi projects.
