SURFboard broadband modems get Windows XP approval

Motorola has announced that its SURFboard SB4100 and SB4101 USB driver (v2.0) marks the first cable modems to earn the Microsoft Designed for Windows logo for Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, and the newly introduced Windows XP operating system. Motorola is the first cable vendor in the industry to earn the Designed for Windows XP logo on a USB driver. The Designed for Windows logo validates the SB4100 and SB4101 cable modems' compatibility with Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Motorola's new v2.0 series USB driver offers enhanced stability and robustness. It also is equipped to address the issues that cable modems could encounter with some of the new power-saving features seen on some desktops.

The Designed for Windows SB4100/SB4101 USB driver (v2.0) provides:

  • Digital Signatures -- to help reduce customer problems related to the installation of out-of-date drivers
  • System-File Protection -- to improve operating system reliability and stability by preventing the replacement of certain monitored system files
  • Windows Update -- to ensure that customers can use the Internet to easily access up-to-date drivers, service releases, and other components
