I have a SanDisk ImageMate 6 in 1 SDDR-86 USB card reader...
Its silver and black; it's about the size of a deck of cards.

Shows up in linux just fine, it reads MediaStick SD/MMC, CFI/II and SM.
I have tried it with CF, and SM; works a treat, no drivers needed. 
My /etc/fstab entries for it are as follows:

# 6 in 1 Removable USB Card Reader
/dev/sda1       /comflash          vfat     noauto,user         0       0
#/dev/sdb1       /fixme          vfat     ro,noauto,user         0       0
#
# This one I know is for SmartMedia
/dev/sdc1       /flash          vfat     noauto,user         0       0
#/dev/sdd1       /fixme          vfat     ro,noauto,user         0       0
