Comment 61 for bug 202490

The reason why "there is no need to confirm the bug" is because we know that the driver does not exist, and the fact that mass manufactured hardware exists means that there are people who have it. Remember: I have the same hardware, and the same missing driver. But are there enough to justify a major effort to reverse engineer an Open Source driver for closed, proprietary and IP constrained hardware? IMO, realistically unlikely, but should someone have an itch to scratch, please feel free.

This is the problem of closed hardware. The xD specification is controlled by Olympus, and (perhaps the good news is that) even they are moving to support SD in their newer cameras. I'll commit to talking with contacts at Olympus when I see them in May and see what, if anything, they have to say.
