Hi All,
Thanks in advance if any one is able to help me.

I am having trouble with a PCI device and belive it may be to do with the BIOS. I would like to do a upgrade, this will at least eliminate this being the problem.
After having removed all PCI devices formating and reloading XP I am finding that I have a divice that appears to not have any drivers loaded. In device manager it is labled as"PCI simple communitations controller". I have tried the update driver but am unable to locate anything on the net.

My BIOS details are displayed below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks for your time.


Chris

Has your motherboard an AMR (Audio Modem Raiser) slot?

If that is the small brown slot located betweent the AGP and the 1st PCI slot that is designed for a modem, then yes.

(Thanks for your fast reply)

Is empty?
On-board LAN?
Can you locate the PCB ID? It looks like "35-XXXX-XX"
There are a lot of PC Partner models matching your BIOS string...
