7 in1 card reader to usb

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Xp will automatically install drivers for the 7 in 1 card reader. Most 7 in
1 card reader have 4 slots so you would see 4 new drives. If you were then
to plug into the other wired together USB port you would get an error.
Many 7 in 1 card readers also contain a regular USB cord which you can run
to the back of your case. You can then cut a small hole in your case and
put the cord through and plug it into a rear USB port.
