Mine came with an Akasa combo card reader and USB hub.

Not sure what it does, but it was installed with some utility I pulled off of IOGEAR.COM for my GUH284R to give me the Icons for the card reader. It errors out often and I just opt not to let it run. I have not uninstalled it. YET.

es zeigt aktive Speicherkarten im SanDisk ImageMate 8 in 1 USB Cardreader (ein kleiner roter Punkt). dieser Prozess kann beendet werden - man sieht dann einfach nicht, ob eine Karte im Leser drin ist.

Kommt mit dem Treiber für den HAMA USB Kartenleser (Cardreader für SD/MMC Karten)

It causes a faint but constant beeping (every second or so) in headphones/speakers. (It is inaudible in speakers unless the volume is very high.) The beeping stops when I stop umonit.exe in the task manager, but it isn't listed on the startup menu. It came on a driver CD for a Genesys Logic universal card reader, & I had to uninstall the drivers to get rid of umonit.exe. The user guide that came w/ the reader says that the installation of the driver CD's contents is not necessary for Win XP/Me/2000. I don't know about Mac.
