I don't know about Carry's, but I recently got my SanDisk 6 in 1 reader to work on my Mandrake 8.2 system. The trick was to add the following lines to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file: # This is for the USB SanDisk 6 in 1 Reader/Writer. echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 1" echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 2" echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 3" Without these line, only the first of the four slots was being recognized. I wanted to read SmartMedia (SM) cards, so I needed one of the other slots. These rc.local lines cause the following device to be created when I insert my SM card into the reader.
