Any know a current place to buy one of these? Every link is dead.

The DeLock 91498 CodeAsm mentioned in his post is buyable in Germany. If you don’t mind the shipping costs, you can order it from amazon.de.

€33 plus shipping. For a card reader, it feels like a lot.

I agree. You can actually get it for half that price:

I just couldn’t find any information about that shop’s shipping costs outside the EU…

To the USA I see €32.78 Shipping costs. “DHL (Weight: 0.05 kg) Expected delivery by DHL in 13-16 work days.” being the only option shown.
The card reader costing €15.08 (excl. VAT)

After having tested the card reader for a while, I am now unsure, if I should proceed putting it in an expansion module casing made of plastic, due to thermal issues. I’d at least need a metallic lid to transfer the heat to the laptop enclosure. I do have a thermal pad to optimize the heat transportation.

For now, I’ll stall this project, at least until I received my Framework laptop.

Aah. Some SD card do get quite hot.

But since Framework is making one anyway, I will just wait patiently for them to finish their work.
