I once I had a sound card where the manuals cover page just said "sound card." Nothing else, nothing in the manual gave any clue as to which company was responsible for assembling the sound card, when it had been assembled or where it was assembled. Jay

Sometimes the customer doesn't want to bother branding it so they just use the generic manual. The only way to find the real manufacturer is through the FCC ID.

I usually take the largest chip on the card, look for something that looks like a part number, and stick it in there. 9 times out of 10, I get the manufacturer's page. ^_^ "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
