    Any idea where I can find a driver for this? Two of them are showing up in my device manager. I'm running Windows 7 RC 64bit. All devices seem to be working, so I assume it has something to do with chipset drivers or something like that.

    I've downloaded all Vista x64 drivers from Sager for my win 7 rc1 x64.
    So far so good. But on some of them need to set compatibility with Vista to run them normally.

    I think I did this once and it turned out to be the card reader...

    Yes it seems like the only thing Windows 7 doesn't seem to find by itself is the cardreader drivers. That was also what was missing on my Zepto Znote 7000 (Clevo M865TU) when i tried out Windows 7 on that :)
