The drivers are otherwise default Conexant drivers, of which the CD covers Windows 98 SE through to Windows 10 64-bit, as well as Linux through Linuxant. The provided driver package has a SUSBUTyK.inf file which covers the modem. This already speaks of the Conexant heritage, and its similarities to the Conexant HSF/HSFi PCI modems.

It identified as USB HSF Modem with VID of 0572 and PID of 1300.

Windows 7 圆4 did not have any drivers already available through Windows Update, and thus using the disc was necessary. Even then, this modem probably works similarly to an average PCI soft-modem. Everything becomes integrated into a single chip where possible, the price is reduced to absolute minimum, the size of the product and power consumption is cut back to bare minimum, the functionality might be somewhat reduced and then … build quality is sacrificed. I suppose this is what happens at the end of a technology’s lifecycle. It would probably break given enough plug insertion/removal cycles. Interestingly, the phone socket doesn’t even have its fourth pin soldered, which explains the poor mechanical support and tendency to shift in its place. A very new product, with a very crappy design.

The underside does have a few components, and it seems that this modem has a PCB identification code of QBA41-C, design dated 12th October 2013 and PCB made 16th February 2017. The soldering of everything looks a bit hand-done. The single plastic phone socket is askew, and the USB wires are soldered and glued down with hot-melt instead of using a connector. The line interface also looks rather simplified, however, instead of opting for an all-silicon DAA, it seems they used a size-reduced transformer of the sort you might find in laptop modem cards. It could be new-old-stock soldered by hand though. The chip itself has a date code of Week 12 of 2002, and almost looks like it was salvaged from another device and recycled with bent pins on the left side, an amateurish soldering job and left over glue or flux on the top of the package. The modem is built around a Conexant CX06836-11 CXHSF-USB chipset. Instead, this one contained a more predictable result. I was secretly hoping that I would get something that had an Agere chipset in it, but sadly, that was not to be. The unit is held shut with two screws, one screw covered by a warranty label that was (messily) removed. There is absolutely no branding or model number on the rear. No audio inputs/outputs are provided, because it seems that it’s all handled digitally in the driver. I suppose the socket for a phone is rarely used anyway, and it simplifies DAA design. Two LEDs are provided to signal status, on a glossy black plastic case which feels a bit thin and flimsy.Ĭost reduction seems to dictate the inclusion of just one phone line port. Given the lack of choice (this being the only one), it comes in a fairly small “soap on rope” form factor which is bus powered (more convenient than some older modems). I ended up haggling and got the modem for HK$140, or about AU$23.33. Due to weight reduction measures, the package didn’t make it with me – just the goodies inside.Įverything could fit in a small-ish zip-lock bag, namely the modem, a driver mini 8cm CD, a phone cable and the receipt. It was generic, unbranded and completely devoid of any model numbers on the outside. It was contained within a cardboard box which had a gradated lime-green package similar to the TP-Link packaging, but was not branded as such. I found one new modem buried in the expansion-card-box pile of one particular shop. The used modems I found were all locked up in shops which didn’t open in the two days I visited. Rather unsurprisingly, for such an advanced country, it’s almost impossible to find any new modems at all. One of the things I was on the lookout for was the last of the dial-up modem. My tech shopping in Hong Kong continues with more goodies.
