How do Creatives BIOS versions differ from NVIDIAs BIOS versions?

This response was given by William Ball of Creative: We have a different versioning convention from NVIDIA. Basically ours is CC.cc.oo.mm.ee and NVIDIA’s is CC.cc.mm.ee.oo, where .oo is the OEM revision. So on NVIDIA’s control panel or NVFLASH program, the .oo part is displayed last whilst our bootup signon message and the later BlasterControl application would display our convention. So, for our SDR BIOS, the version is displayed as 2.10.1.01.04 (our convention) instead of 2.10.01.04.1 (NVIDIA’s convention). This might have led people to believe that we are using a 2.10.01.01 BIOS.
