Guess what ? I dissected the firmware upgrade flasher for cw-7586 1.01
and 1.08 .

Creative-CDRW IS recognized by the flasher and WILL update the firmware
on 8439E and 8433E, it looks to me like, the 'official' support for
8433E and 8439E are the firmwares from www.acscompro.com

If not, why would they be able to detect creative's ID string ?
Seems to me , THIS could be the official firmware/flasher since
it detects 8439E and 8433E's ID string.

This is what it looks for...
