!linux !debian how big/small is the chance that a built-in multi-card reader will NOT work under Linux? -

@marjoleink larger than with CD/DVD but smallish -

@r7 the !debian #wiki is good for checking hardware compatibility -

@r7 thanks - same problem as with CD7DVD writer though: brand name + description but no prod. #. And I suspect brand name means very little -

@r7 hmmm - I found a section about CD/DVD in the wiki but see nothing about card readers. It seems to be connected via USB though... -

@r7 ...wouldn't that make it appear as a normal USB device with several 'drives' for removable media? That's how it looks in Windows -

@marjoleink that is very likely. it's how mine works -

@r7 I have probably found the card reader (its mfr. lists only one): http://www.recom.nl/RC-DR-03.html - they specify Linux support, too -

@marjoleink that looks very promising -

@r7 yup! Just need to verify this is indeed the model used in these machines I'm looking at! :)
