How do I make a filesystem on a flash card look like it is on a normal disk?

I have an application that works differently when reading data from a flash card
compared to when it reads data from a hard drive. Does anyone know what would tip the application off as to what type of device the file system is mounted on,
and if there is a way to make the mount look like it is from a normal drive?

I have already tried making /Volumes visible, and locating the file system through that path from the application. It still assumed the filesystem was on a flash card, and not on a hard disk.

Any ideas?

I use a USB adapter to read the cards from my cameras. That might work but it really depends on how the application itself is accessing the data.
