As I mentioned previously, it's ok with the card reader - I have a Lexar CF reader and I do it all the time on three different Macs as well as the s900.
My routine is.....plug in the card reader and then insert the card into the card reader.
Although it's probably ok, I do not insert the card in the reader before plugging in the firewire cable.
Not worth taking a chance with the data that's on the card.

I need to clarify this with one more point.
My answer is for bus powered devices, which is what the Lexar CF reader is.
If for some reason you have a A/C powered card reader, and I'm not sure if there is such a creature, plug in firewire cable first then then connect A/C power.
