Today, I put an internal multicard reader on my principal workstation.

It’s look like that:

and it allows to read several storage card like SD, MMC, Compact Flash.

Its setup is no really difficult… if you know 2 or 3 things

First: this hardware must be pluged on the USB ports of the motherboard which looks like that:

Please note the color sequence: red - white - green - black

Once plugged, the kernel must be configured like that:

Device Drivers —>
SCSI device support —>
<*> SCSI device support
<*> SCSI disk support
<*> SCSI generic support
[*] Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device
USB support —>
<*> Support for Host-side USB
<*> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support
<*> OHCI HCD support
<*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and Via) support
<*> USB Mass Storage support

I insist on the 4th option (Probe all LUNs etc.) which is fundamental to be able to manage several cards on the same USB port.

The device files created will be something like that: /dev/hdb1, hdc1, hdd1 etc.
