I have several of those USB multislot multimedia readers, and none of
them show any rpesence in /dev except for those slots which have a
card in them.  Wel, I haven't checked them in a while.  But for
instance, one of them has four slots, I think they show up normally on
my system as sd[fghi], nad the one I use th emost is sdh.  I put the
card in, then plug in the USB cable, and sdh shows up but not sd[fgi].

Last time I cheked, it also confused the heckout of the USB system if
I pulled the card out of the slot before yanking out the USB cable.

I will try the LUN flag but not right now, I don't want to reboot now.
