I have an incomplete idea.
You posted output for two devices, an NEC floppy and a Kingston thumb drive.
For these two specifically, try the following rules. I wrapped them by
hand and you may need to unwrap them; I copied the data items verbatim from
your udevinfo output.
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="NEC USB UF000x", NAME="%k",
SYMLINK="usb-floppy"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}="KINGSTON ",
SYSFS{product}="DATA TRAVELER", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="usbhd%n"
This should put your floppy device at /etc/usb-floppy and one (or more)
Kingston-brand thumb drive(s) at /etc/usbhd0 (and usbhd1, etc.)
It's obviously not a general solution. My guess is that a general solution
requires using the output of the section containing DRIVER="usb-storage"
and I don't know nearly enough about something -- almost certainly USB --
to say more.
Since it looks like an interesting problem, I'll look into it further, if
you like.
