This appears as a PCMCIA device under windows, but doesn't appear anywhere obvious (there is a '06:04.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments Unknown device 803b' in lspci, might be this? |

Under Hardy (8.04) it reads SD cards ok (I have no memory stick to try), and it's listed in lsusb as "Standard Microsystems Corp. 9-in-2 Card Reader" |
