Can anyone recommend a memory card reader that does not assign a

Use an OS that doesn't impose the long-obsolete "drive
letter"
notion on you. When I stick a memory card in a slot on my Linux

Some card readers will allow you to have access to more than one card at
a time, which is a distinct advantage for some. Not much use for my
purposes, but don't conclude that just because something is better for
YOU (*nix), that it is 'better' for everyone.

The inability to abstract hardware devices into a
hierarchal filesystem is a significant *fault* when
using today's technology.


And the only current OS that I've ever used that positively discourages
any such ability is MacOS which abstracts everything into Apple's vision of
what a filesystem should look like, despite its underlying BSDness.
