USR Model 2977 OEM internal 56k hardware modem

Recommended Posts

I recently upgraded my OS to Win2k and lost my modem's functionality. Win2k simply won't recognize my modem. Has anybody been able to make the USRobotics Model 2977 OEM internal 56k hardware modem to work with Win2k? I have tried installing the drivers manually to no avail. Win2k thinks that the modem is a PCI serial port and nothing else. I tried uninstalling the driver, which shows as other pci device with a question mark icon, in Device Manager and restart to manually install the driver. As soon as I finish installation of the proper driver from USRobotics my computer would freeze. No response, no ability to restart using alt+conrol+delete.

 

I have the modem installed in slot 2 with irq 10 in the BIOS of my Asus A7V mobo. It is sharing irq 10 with the onboard ATA controller. All other slots are occupied so it's not that easy to move things around without causing havoc. ACPI is enabled but the modem is not showing in the list of irq shared. I was able to use the same setup with WinME. Dunno why it won't work in Win2k. Please help.
