That seems like a big argument against buying their equipment. If they 
were that shortsighted about the future or did such a poor job about 
card support. And are unwilling to fix their firmware. Or even worse, 
did not make the firmware updatable. The world is moving on with or 
without them. I expect that slow cards are not going to be manufactured 
anymore soon, if they have not already stopped and are just dumping old 
stock.
