I am using the MediaGear 9 in 4 card reader (MGBR-100) with my Tyan K8W (S2785). I plugged the reader's USB2 5 pin connector into the J15 USB 2.0 header (check the tyan manual for connecting the 5pin head to the dual 5pin header on the mother board.

The reader works with an SD card and I am waiting to test it with the compact flash card that I use in an embedded router. If I don't update this, assume it works. ;)

The Sd device showed up as /dev/sdd1, not sure what the others might show up as (or it it will be the same since it is mounted as a USB disk)
