> Any chance of getting a fix for this?

Support for the chip does not seem likely to come from Canonica, and I
can think of a lot of other things I would prefer that they invest their
time and money onl.  xD media is not very popular.  Were it not for a
loaner of an Olympus camera at PADI Total Sub last year, I'd personally
never know that this issue existed.

Recommendation: with all due apologies to my friends at Olympus, do not
buy gear that uses xD media (or Memory Stick).  Instead, go for SD/SDHC
and/or Compact Flash.  If you happen to have one of the two brands of
cameras that use xD, or otherwise simply *must* have support for xD
media, purchase a reader from Olympus or Fuji since the xD reader sold
by them appears to be supported (q.v., http://alauda.sourceforge.net).
