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.
Most modems use an AC output adapter. This is so the can get + and - power with a simple diode and capacitor power circuit. My BestData 56K takes AC in. I don't have the original for this modem but I used one that matched my BestData 33.6 modem and that was IIRC 9VAC at 500mA or so. I can check if needed.
