Zoom External/ISA/PCMCIA

A very popular flash-upgradeable 1 MB ROM 56K chipset that supports either V.90 or K56FlexTM depending on the code within the firmware. Voice (speakerphone) capable (depends on chipset & OEM implementation). Desktop, internal & PC-Card (PCMCIA) versions available.

Caution! Make sure that the flash upgrade is for the correct model. See Media Force for a cautionary tale. The better flashes check for the correct chipset before going ahead, & this chipset has many variants, including a 2 MB ROM version.
Flash "hangs" at 91% Go and make a cup of tea - the flashing process must not be interrupted or the modem will be useless, permanently. This behaviour is normal & it normally goes to completion in a few minutes.
Wizard reports Freeserve is not a V.90 ISP The wizard detects formerly-K56Flex ISP's now using V.90 connections. Freeserve has been V.90 from the start, & the wizard is wrong - go ahead & flash anyway.
Don't forget the drivers! Upgrading is usually a 2-stage process:

    1 flash-upgrade the modem
    2 update the computer drivers
      Windows - INF file - the modem in Dial-Up Networking Properties (General page) will need changing if an upgrade causes a name change.
      Mac® - Modem Script

    28 Aug 02 Thanks to Robert Resch for the following: “I've found a way to recover dead Rockwell 56K Modems with the firmware-File downloadable from the manufacturer. It's a small Perl-Script that generates the binary-file from the .s37 File. The Perl-Script is now Hard-Coded for 1MBit Firmware but is easily changed to 2MBit. The Bin-File can be written to the Flash-Rom (should be a 29EE010) with a Flash-Writer available at loet.de or any better eprom-writer. As a benefit you can change everything on your modem - change the country-code and so on. This is the Script.” (7 Oct updated; original + updated script + instructions included)
