AFAIK the write protect is like that on an old 3 1/2 inch floppy. Leica
would have to write the firmware patch as the firmware resides entirely
in the camera. That is if the card-reader itself doesn't have it's own
inviolable firmware. .

I wrote to Leica last night, telling them the sordid history of my M8s. The
card fail defect seems to be extremely common. I suggested a firmware upgrade
thst bypasses the write protect feature altogether.

And you say you bought the Gear from B&H, who cannot shirk their prime

That's the advice I'd give as the law in NZ places responsibility on the
retailer, but I don't know if the same applies in the USA. Either way it
sounds like a terrible situation. Maybe a polite-but-nasty letter from your
lawyer would help to get things moving.
