General Notes		Controllerless Windows-only V.90/K56Flex^TM Chipset
general info:		The chipset contains a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip, but Controller functions are enacted within software. Care! - CIS has 3 drivers for 3 different sets of chipset (no IDs). Best Data use the same driver for the R6785-62 & R6795-12 PCI chipsets.
driver version:		ati3 in More Info
country version:		ati9 in a Terminal program (as text) HCF Configurator (freeware) can be used to change Country.

A controller-less Windows-only chipset that supports both V.90 and K56Flex^TM. The original Windows modem driver-name was "Rockwell HCF 56K Data Fax Speakerphone PCI Modem". If an upgrade causes a name change the modem in Dial-Up Networking Properties (General page) will need changing. 17 Jun 02 Thanks to the Doctor for mailing me HSFbooster v2.06 Standard Edition - show statistics after connect added to the program. 21 Apr 02 Thanks to the Doctor for mailing me HSFbooster v2.03 Standard Edition & allowing it to be downloaded from this site. 16 Dec 01 Thanks to Kit Peters for news of generic HCF & HSF drivers (PCI only) for all versions of Windows. 02 Dec 01 Thanks to the Doctor for info on updated drivers on his Website plus the news that "my site frequently happens is closed because of a monthly limit of target traffic" (site closed 7 April, reopened 21 Jun). 07 Aug 01 Thanks to the Doctor for news of HCF drivers on his Website. 16 Feb 01 Thanks to Karen Tamrazian for the link to his HCF Configurator site. 13 Jul 00 Thanks to Massimiliano Fantozzi for info on the R6795-11 chipset. 10 Mar 99 P.
