Hey all, I have aquired a internal card reader from an old pc (specs
not known). The sticker on the rear panel is marked: model # CR-363-
U26. The connector is a black 4 pin female. I guess it goes to a
header on the mobo. The thing is I can't seem to find any info about
this reader after some Googling. I would like to put it to use if
possible. If you have any info you can add, please feel free to jump
in. Thanks for your inputs.

The most logical kind of connection to the mobo would be USB.

This/That isn't your device, but Lian Li makes a front 20-1 card reader
with a black face and they give it modelno CR-25B.

A device/plug which connects to the mobo USB typically has 4 wires..

....as a 1x4.

Manhattan made a 6-1 card reader whose modelno was CR-V1002-U26.

The reason that you need to find your specific device is because some
cards need to be read right side up and some up side down and some
multi-s need an adapter and some readers will get a wrong kind of card
stuck if you don't do it right.

You need to know what kinds of card/s you can read and how to do it.

Good job. I am going to try it in a spare tower and make sure it
functions. I will post back later and let you know the outcome.
Thanks again for your interest.

Well it looks like it will be ok. Hooked it up and tried it with a
micro sd and adapter, viewed the contents no problem. That will be a
nice addition to my old tower.
Thanks again.
