That would be unwise.
Look in Device Manager for the actual drive ID. In the case of the 8432
series drives, the flash update is good *only* if the drive ID is 8432E.
8433E, 8435E, 8438E and 8439E need not apply.
I'm not sure about the ID's of the different 121032's. Maybe someone else
here can help.
