Well, depending on the age of the hardware, it might be best to just
replace the 'swap' partition/area of the hard drive being emulated with
modern, cheap DRAM memory. The swap area doesn't have to be
non-volatile, after all.
This depends, of course, on it being possible to specify where swap is
located, and not to just blindly use a flash drive as a plug-in HD
replacement.

Try to make adapter to convert from one interface
to IDE interface
and use CF card. Smallest is 8MB all the way to 8GB and price is
good on 1GB and below. If one knows well with SD stuff, great!
Flash isn't a perfect replacement for rotating magnetic media for any
OS that has a swap partition...
