Changing the Operating System
The Motorola SM56 modem supports the following Operating Systems. For some operating
systems the drivers are the same whereas for others the drivers are different as explained in the
following table.
Operating Systems
Driver Compatibility
Windows 95 and 98
Same
Windows NT 4.0
Different
Windows Millennium
Different
Windows 2000 and XP
Same
If you upgrade from an OS to another, which uses the same driver, the SM56 will continue to
function as before. No new drivers are required. For example if the modem is installed on Windows
95 and you upgrade to Windows 98, the SM56 will continue to function as before.
However if you upgrade to an OS with a different set of drivers, you must get a new set of drivers
for that operating system. Contact your SM56 modem supplier for driver status and updates.
Therefore, if you change from Windows 95/98 to Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 you must get
a new set of drivers for that operating system.
