Can anyone help me, I have just acquired a soundcard that has a rockwell chip at the heart of it.
The thing is, I don't know where to get the drivers.
Let me know what info I need to tell you so that you can help me.
Help as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated as this card is not for me.
Thanks in advance.

Find the FCC ID#, then do a search at www.windrivers.com (http://www.windrivers.com) for it. Get the drivers from the mfg website.
Plug it in, and try to install it. If it's PnP, it should at least ask for something you could look for.

What does the FCC ID look like, there are so many numbers on this thing.
Thanks for the extremely quick reply by the way.

Try www.driverguide.com (http://www.driverguide.com)
Use this id "drivers" (no quotes)
and this password "all"
You need to know at least who made the card,FCC#,model# or something to start searching for the driver. Like comtech said if it's plug-and-pray it might tell u something when you fire it up. Good luck.

the chip should also have a product ID on it. If you goto http://www.windrivers.com/ you can get it their by association with the info on the rockwell chip. The FCC ID is also a good way to find out who manufactured that board. There should be a sticker someone on the board with the number on it (should have CDD ID # on it) or sometiems it can also be silscreened on the board. I have found this number is usually located on the back of teh card. Are you sure this isn't a combo card device? When packard bell and alot of other companies were making computers with the Pentium 75-120, they many times made a compbo card that had a rockwell modem and a aztech sound cards built into one ISA card. Hope this helps some.
