Creative has been very slack with firmware updates for any drive but
the original 2224.

The current firmware revision on the Plextor site is v1.05. I've checked
the firmware revision on the Creative, and it's also 1.05.

I haven't tried the Plextor flash because of this - also, I'm checking
to see if the firmware can be backup up before I flash a drive.

We're having numerous problems with these drives, ranging from fixation
errors to software lockups.

Environment is Win98FE, WinNT v4.0 SP6, running the drives as Master or
Slave on the secondary interface, with or without other IDE devices.
