Creative's Modem Blaster Flash 56K is really made by Digicom Systems. Creative has zero support on their site, and after looking over my documentation for it, for a URL for a firmware update, I found that Digicom Systems provides full support for it, including firmware updates. Creative doesn't have any links to Digicom Systems site from their page. The URL is http://www.digicomsys.com/
Hayes, Zoom, and Diamond Multimedia firmware updates
Brian Schuster and Simon Slater noticed that Diamond Multimedia has a new beta, 1.120-04, released November 21. It's available on their beta site at http://beta.supra.com/56k/. As with all betas, it may contain bugs.
Zoom has a MicroPhone LT settings file that allows Mac users to update the firmware of their Zoom modem. The file is called 56kuploader.bin, and is available from Zoom's 56K Support Files page.
