OK, I purchased a CDRW Blaster 8432 about two weeks ago. 
Everything has been fine with it so far, but both my BIOS and 
windows see it as an 8435E. 

Can someone please tell me if this drive is made by Plextor, 
Philips, Matsushita, or perhaps another company. Creatives 
specifications for the 8435E show a 4MB buffer, and Plextors 
specs for their 8/4/32 CDRW also show a 4MB buffer. Both the 
8432E and 8438E show a 2MB buffer. The front of my drive does 
not look like the drawing on the 8432E spec page, unfortunately 
neither the 8435E or 8438E show any drawings for comparison.

I do apologize if an explanation concerning the differences 
between these drives has already been posted. I have read some 
posts here, but they have raised more questions than answers for 
me.

Thanks for your help.
