There're variants of 8438E in the market. I suspect some of them could be using sector write-protected EEPROMs for the firmware, from what I read in some other forums. That's why there're those who flashed successfully and those who failed (Even in win98) because EEprom firmware cannot be completely erased (Sector protection)
