The first is the gem in the lot, a BestData 56K modem. Unfortunately, the
modem didn't have the proper AC adapter.The model is a Smart One 56, and
has model numbers as follows: 56spx,56x,56spmac,56ma. I assume the case
is the same with these models, as are probably the internal components,
but the software and cables are likely different from model to model.
Anyone have one of these that can let me know what the proper voltage
(volts and AC or DC)and amperage (or wattage) rating is for this unit?
Every modem I've ever seen uses a 9 VDC adapter. There are probably a few exceptions to this out there somewhere, but I have not run across any of them.
Note, when I said it was 9V AC 1Amp earlier, I was reading the specifications off the power supply for the identical Best Data modem currently connected to my computer...
A number of modems use 9V AC. Swapping DC for AC and vice versa will not be good for the modem's health.
In fact (I'd have to check on Monday, when I get back n the office) I believe Supra modems use 9v AC as well.
