Topic: [SLVD] PCI Simple Communications Controller

Hello everybody.

I've reinstalled Windows XP, via a m2-slipstreamed distro (latest official driverpacks).

In the device manager, there is only one yellow mark: "PCI Simple Communications Controller."


I was wondering whether I should install the driver for it, and what would the effect be.
http://www.soft32.com/Download/Free/PCI … 376-1.html

For example, I plan on buying a PCI graphics card for this computer. Would installing that driver help me?

Here are my HWIDs:

Re: [SLVD] PCI Simple Communications Controller

That's probably for a modem in your system.  Or possibly a rogue LAN device not covered by DriverPack LAN.
Can you post your DPs_BASE.log?

Re: [SLVD] PCI Simple Communications Controller

Yes, there was a modem in my system, which was removed yesterday. As you have guessed, the yellow mark has since disappeared. Do you support modem drivers? Or are these too deprecated to be supported?

Do you still need the DPs_BASE.log file? If yes, where can I find (or how can I produce) it?

thanks,

Re: [SLVD] PCI Simple Communications Controller

DriverPacks has a wide variety of user provided packs known as the 3rd party DriverPack's...

Modems, Monitors, Printers, Cell Phone, TVcapture cards, Blue Tooth, etc...

you should take a look http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewforum.php?id=13

summary here http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=587

Modem drivers here --> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=3174

Be sure and drop by an thank Abdou, He updated it last!

Re: [SLVD] PCI Simple Communications Controller

I am glad to learn that all is normal, after all.

P.S.: I've meant, "officially" supported. I am not really interested in third party driverpacks. Thanks for the links, though!

Re: [SLVD] PCI Simple Communications Controller

We do officialy support them... they are just not updated by mr_smartepants wink

they are just as safe and just as well tested big_smile -
They are just as well done as the main packs.
Some of them are done by main team members, others by experienced testers, some by the packs team.

Wim has given me the ability to add them to the main site...
Once we iron out a few wrinkles with the new Metadata format they will appear on the home page with the main packs...

Fear leads to the dark side young skywalker wink 
So fear not...
give them a whirl...

All of the rest of us do! especially Monitor and MoDem. (and physx)

PS didn't you ever wonder what that silly folder was for in the BASE directory?

-- Yes, I have known them for a long time, but have been told to stay away from them.
But, as you are saying to me today, the status quo yet has changed... and again, for the better. smile

-- Anyway, I do not seem to need them for most computers that I am building. When you say you might add them to the home page, you mean on a different page than the other "standard" driverpacks, right?

Every time i ommit the Modem Pack i end up servicing a machine with a modem smile LOL

Re: [SLVD] PCI Simple Communications Controller

This is off-topic, but wouldn't it be simpler for newbies to read (at http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/latest) "Graphics Languages (3rd party driverpack)" instead of just "Graphics Languages?"

In BASE it is easy to see which are the "standard" driverpacks because of the way the application is built, and thus for the newbie to let out the third party ones, because often the latter are of obsolete use in newer systems.

What do you think?

cheers,

Re: [SLVD] PCI Simple Communications Controller

It's a good idea...

I don't know where Wim is going to take us... But I am sure it will be great!

The site is still in a developmental state ATM... So all comments and feedback are encoraged!!!!
