They are fairly standard these days. I have a Mitsumi unit that works fine.
Quick note though, do not install it until after Windows is setup. Otherwise the card reader will steal the driver letters, like C:.

so what your saying is i should first?
- Install the OS and download all the drivers - download all the window updates (if any are available) and then proceed to install the card reader? |

Yes. Install Windows with only one hard drive and one optical drive connected, and NO USB devices or other peripherals except a keyboard and mouse. You can connect the rest of the drives, card reader, etc. as soon as Windows is installed. Don't connect USB devices without reading the installation instructions first - drivers may have to be installed PRIOR to connecting the device.

I have the Mitsumi combo unit, and it works well. And yes, don't connect it until AFTER windows is installed. Been there, done that, got the G: boot drive...

You can connect the floppy ribbon and power cable - just don't connect the USB cable.
