    Hi Roland. Like you. I installed a cheapo 4 dollar media reader from china bought on ebay. My ThinkCentre Desktop runs MX-16 though. Every port works in MX. My mention of usb tie pins on the motherboard was from my media box install in the floppy bay of the IBM ThinkCentre.

    On my Emachine in the motorcycle shop. (I finished my external wifi sattelite antenna. So it can access wifi router at my house.

    I still have to backup certain things on the emachine before I proceed with my AntiX 17 install. If I have problems with my media card reader panel on the front of that. One of my steps may be to add MX 17/text file/ repos to my /etc/apt/sources.d

    Run a apt-get update. Install a MX kernel. Update grub. Boot into that. Comment out my MX repo entries I enabled.
    apt-get update again. Test my card readers again. Not sure if this will work or not. But that is how I trouble shoot systems. Poke and hope. Slowly but surely. If it works. I will uninstall the AntiX kernel and just use the MX kernel.

    Kernels litter smxi and Debian kernels are abundant. I’ll find something eventually.
