Well, let me see now...

It appears that Knoppix already contains a program called Test Disk that 
is supposed to reconstruct broken partition tables, and of course there 
is fsck.vfat which is meant to fix broken FAT filesystems.

So it looks like all I need to do (assuming the USB device is readable 
at all) is use dd to dump the contents into a file, and then wave these 
two tools over that file in an attempt to get something usable. 
Shouldn't be too hard...
