Hi,

 

I have aquired a 900MHz Celeron PC for free from work loaded with Win98. I also got a free dial up (I know, shite) modem. I got it for the Mrs's mums sister. She's never had a PC so thought this would be a good starter. Anyway, after fooking around for hours on t'internet I can't find the driver for the modem and it won't install or work properly. There are no identifying marks on it as to who made it and now I'm stuck.

 

Any ideas ??

tbh, if you cant find the make / model / chipset of the modem then would be easier to just buy one. Can get a white box pci modem with drivers cd for about a fiver.

a 900mhz celeron with a 56k modem will likely put her off computers for life lol :p

PMSL :rofl:

is it a "proper" modem, as in in a PCI slot, or in an "AMR"? They are very very small, only actually riser cards from the mainboard.

 

On a socket 370 board could also quite easily be ISA but i would be suprised ;)

 

If its a proper modem its probably an intel 536, standard driver from intel should make it work...

 

If its an AMR riser modem, then the chances are the drivers will be on the motherboard manfucaturors site (e.g MSI, gigabyte abit asus etc etc)

 

If its an ISA, try out your throwing arm and launch it!

probably an intel 536ep, most modems are....

see if you can read the faint writing on the chips them selves, there will be one large one, send me a high resolution picture to chriscave686@hotmail.com and i'll try and see what it is

OK, on the biggest IC that is a QFP we got :-

 

DQ82536EP

W422QA01

SEL A2

 

INTEL (M)© '01

 

So it is an Intel device

536EP what did i tell you hehe

 

If you go to intel's site and get a 536ep driver

Link for windows XP, most likly different for other OS's

Yeah, this is running 98, will check the site out, cheers bud !

no worries mate, hope it works! If not any old intel driver should kick it into touch, they are all the same really!

Weh Hey, got it working that fook, but OMFG, I forgot how fooking slow dialup was/is. give me strength LMFAO, CheerZ Quavey :duffer:

haha, no worries mate well done!
