Well I have managed to get one that doesn't work very well.  It
basically fails to notify linux of card changes so I have to unplug usb,
remove card, insert other card, plug in usb, to have it work reliably.
Rather annoying (it was a cheap 15-in-1 reader).

On the other ahnd I have also worked with an all in one 3-1/2" drive bay
one that connected to an internal usb connector on the motherboard,
which just works perfectly (which is good since disconnecting it's cable
would be a pain :)  It even has a floppy drive built in too (no idea how
to managed to fit it all in) and is also not too expensive (under $40 I
believe).
