Quick note to say that the 7-in-1 card reader from flashcards.co.nz works like a charme (well, with CF, didn't test others). All hardware should be like that: plug in, computer beeps, icon appears on desktop, clicking icon shows all the files in the file manager. Right click icon, unmount, unplug, finished.
Geek info: Bus 001 Device 009: ID 05e3:0760 Genesys Logic, Inc. No other identifiable manufacturer or model names on packaging. The hotplug system creates an entry in /etc/fstab only if a card is in the reader when it's plugged in (the entry is removed again too). Without that entry there may be the odd problem with non-root to mount/unmount. Of course one can just make the same entry in fstab permanently. Suse 8.2. I'd have excpected 1MB/s reading and writing with a USB 1.1 interface (the reader is 2.0, but not my compi), but I get about 1MB/s writing and 0.5MB/s reading. Fwiw, billyware eXPensive pussyfoots around for at least a minute, desperately trying to decide whether to display 1, 5, 3, 1, none, 5, none, 5, or 1 drives for this piece of hardware.
