Tom,
Your Sandisk USB model must be one of the portable external readers like
the several I already have..
I was trying to get a better and internal all-in-one device that
hopefully didn't need to be "stopped" manually at the end of every use
but it appears that what I and you have got is the best tech available
for now... the internal all-in ones appear essentially to not be ready
for prime time yet....

I was hoping to add an 3.5" internal card reader (SD, XD, CF, memory

for various models, it seemed that they were all fairly problematic in
some way: DOA, flaky, slow transfer rates, cheap construction, don't
read SD cards over 1 GB, driver install problems, noVista compatibility etc.
1) Don't believe everything you read in user comments. Often the user is
cause of the problem and doesn't know enough to get something working.
2) Changing drivers and changing standards can make these readers hard to
configure. They can be a bare to get working, even on a Mac.
Fortunately they are cheap. My current one connects via USB and is from
SanDisk. I think it was around $12. My strategy is to replace them every
few years when they start to act unreliable.
