re rockwell chipset for s any good tdbear dvorak amd com thomas d barrett writes in article im u c camelot im u c camelot bradley edu joe zbiciak writes what s the word on the chipset is this a rom bug specific to a specific brand using the rockwell or is it the rockwell chipset itself there were an assortment of firmware problems but that is pretty much expected with any fax modem talking with a different fax or modem which may have also been revised or is new i m pretty much oblivious to any current firmware problems so you ll have to get it from someone else someone else could you please comment on that i have just bought a twincom dfi which has a rockwell chipset it wasn t cheap so i would like to hear of problems i m likely to run into however i can tell you to stay clear of any board which uses the rockwell mpu as opposed to the dpu for an internal implementation this is because the mpu used speed buffering instead of having a interface without the interface the number of interrupts are still the same and thus may get dropped under multitasking conditions like in windows as far as i know the speed buffering works ok for external modems if a is used on the internal serial port board phew i was lucky the twincom internal version has a a and one of the rockwell chips is marked rc dp but still i would like to hear more of the above mentioned firmware problems niels
