I've also got a 8438E drive and I was just looking into finding a flashrom upgrade for it.
But now I'm a little concerned that I might render the thing useless if I try to flash it
based on what you said.  Now, I've heard that there are different versions of the 8438E on
the market.  Here's all the info on mine that I have available.

In the Device Manager in Windows 98SE, it lists the drive as an Creative CD-RW RW8438E.
The firmare version is listed as FC03.  On the side of the box it came in, it says that
it's Model MK4214.  I want to know if this is a drive that's safe to flash and if so,
where to get the flash patch.  Do you have a clue as to which drive is which?  Thanks.
