So - what you really have is an external universal media reader.
Is that type of device covered within the supported hardware?
I have seen boxes with a 5 1/4" bay set of flash media sockets *and* a
usb socket on the same panel.
Earlier in the thread he mentioned he gets his device recognized by
usb-storage and allocated a device node /dev/sdg1, so there is no
fundamental problem. It makes perfect sense it's an issue local to udev.
