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.

What color are the four wires leading from the plug?

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..

red white green black
+5V Data - Data + Gr

....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.
