DIAMOND 56K V92 INTERNAL PCI MODEM
This review is from : Diamond SupraMax 56K PCI Fax Modem
Very nice modem for the price. . I purchased the SupraMax 56K faxmodem and was amazed at the easy intallation, I was up and running in about 15 minutes. Once the installation process was finished I took advantage of the faxing software (very user friendly).Furthermore, since I have started using this modem I am getting connection speeds of 4800+ consistently. I did run acrooss a scenario where one particular ISP did not support K56Flex they would only support V.90 so, I called Diamond tech support and within minutes they guided me to the correct upgrade to download which solved the problem. I would recommend this modem to anyone looking for an affordable,easy to use modem with the flexabilty of V.90 & K56Flex technologies.

Diamond SupraMax 56K PCI Fax Modem Opinions
Install disk fail however manual install works great . I do not know if my experience was the same for those that had an awfull time installing this modem. But after force install I was online all in all about 20-30 minutes, sure that should not be the case especially now days coming from a well known brand such as this (was), install should have been 2-3 minutes.
First out of the box, the install disk failed, error something about corrupt or missing driver... that seemd ok the instructions warned of a possible system patched needed, ok so did the patch, same error. Missing or corrupt file... hmmm I wonder how many bad install disks are floating arouund aggrevating people.
This is really a great stable fast modem, feel bad for those that gave up on the install. Anyways, first I had to figure out what driver on the disk belongs with my modem, after a few trial and error and educated guess I identifieds the installation driver directly on the disk and manually loaded the drivers.
But thats not the end of this story. For some reason the PCI card barely fit into the case, the aligment was off and could barely fit. I did manage to get everything seated but it was difficult, the plate needs to come in a 8th of and inch, perhaps even a quarter.
My install was in a Dell Dimension tower, Win98se, the old USrobotics finnaly caved in after years of slowly dying.
Modem connect fast and realatively seems to work pretty fast as far as browsing web pages, almost comparable to low speed DSL, really seems that good. Connection consistantly made at 45k, which is very exceptable, the old USR when new pegged 52k alot, and I was impressed, but eventually that card died after 5 years... I have an old MOT 56k about 8 years and still runs very well.
3 Stars, aggrevating installation, bad disk etc., and bad manufacturing, the alignment was difficult to seat properly, very tight fit. After those hurdles, runs very well.
NO MATTER WHAT MAKE SURE YOU GET THE MODEM THAT IS HARWARE BASED NOT SOFTWARE DRIVEN!!! THERE ARE TWO VERSION OF THE DIAMOND SupraMax MODEM MAKE SURE IT IS THE CORRECT ONE!!! Look for the PRO model, it has the on board "DSP" chip... hardware based.
If having difficulty install the SupraMax PRO version, look for the "PCIPROA" on the disk. Otherwise for the NON-PRO version use the multiple install disk folders that are next to the "...PROA".

Cons Review
Diamond SupraMax 56K PCI Pro Installation Nightmare! . Diamond SupraMax 56K PCI Pro Internal Modem Review. _ Installation Nightmare! _ The installation CD V1.0 that Diamond packages with this is missing files and does not run properly. Diamond's troubleshooting tips did not resolve the errors. Tried it on different computers. None of the driver-folder names on the CD exactly matched either of the two different model numbers (?) on the box. Rather than convenient driver (.inf) files that windows could have found, the CD mostly contains unidentifiable executable (.exe) files. Windows XP recognizes this modem as "Lucent Winmodem", and AOL recognizes it as "Aegent v.92 Softmodem", but neither would support the modem's features. I eventually had to go to a friend's house to download the exact drivers off the Internet. What an inconvenient hassle. My SupraMax 56K PCI Pro Modem now has an erroneous identity of "PCIPROA", and it finally seems to work OK. But somebody at Diamond Multimedia should be fired for their incompetence, and I should be able to bill them for the hours of extra time I had to spend trying to get their product installed correctly.
