I've been using one with the Multiface II for the last 8 months,
it works perfectly.

The only problem I see with it is the delicacy of the mechanical
latch that is supposed to keep the card in place. The cable 
connecting it to the Multi/Digiface is quite stiff, enough to
break the latch when you move the cable with any force. As
happened to me when some *!#^$ composer put his shoulder bag
on it during a concert. Since then it's possible to pull out
the card without pushing it inward first, and I have to
gaffer-tape he cable to the table to prevent this happening
accidentally.
