Hey, if the drives we get from creative are
rebadged panasonic/matsushita/samsung/sanyo/plextor...

So what if they changed the ID string ? Why not change it
to the original manufacturer's ID at the registry ?
I saw entries for them in the localmachine/enum/scsi

Just change for example, 'Creative 8439e' to
'Matsushita cw-7586' etc and now those burners
that support cw-7586 should be able to use it.

Why the heck is there a need to specially support a particular 
drive? All drives are ATAPI compliant and should read/write
data CDs and others without problems!

That's what ATAPI and SCSI interfaces are for, why does
cd-writer software need to know the cdrw manufacturer
string even ?!
