"Don't waste your time. If you have the Combo Card, the only one that works is the 9.5 MB Download under SmartM Win 98 Sound Card. That one works for Win 95, 98 and ME."

"I believe man has the same exact piece of hardware that I have. He says it is working fine, but he must have more drivers that just the one for the modem part of it installed. Because this card also is a mulimedia audio contoller and a game controller along with a modem. The other two, there is nothing to install them with, the single modem drivers is just one of the dr

"I have to agree with stallion. It did not load in. This modem came with the HP 8562 Pavilion (Windows 98SE) bundled with this cheap modem. HP is known to do this. Anyway, reading the readme file refers to the XP and 2000 OS. It really is bad for Smart to not directly support this product let along what you have. I will look around a bit more then just return this computer.
