In fact, I had a 2gb 80X Lexar card at the time that was in the serial number range of the "Bad" ones, although I hadn't had any trouble with it. When I called Lexar to see about returning it, they were happy to give me an RMA number, but the technician told me that I could also just upgrade the firmware in the camera to prevent a problem. As it turns out, I never did get around to sending in the card, but I did upgrade the firmware in the camera, and I never had a problem.
I thought about this conversation the other day when we were discussing CF cards and whether or not they contained firmware, because the email follow up from Lexar actually said they would update the firmware on the card. Not sure if there really was firmware, or just a poor choice of terms on their part.
