Applications

The GVC F-1156I/A3 was designed as an OEM modem expansion card for Sony's Vaio PCV-LX800 all-in-one desktop system, which was produced in the early 2000s. The PCV-LX800 was a slim, stylized consumer desktop and used proprietary or semi-proprietary expansion cards like this one to add modem and USB connectivity. 56K dial-up modem cards of this type were standard equipment in consumer PCs of the late 1990s and early 2000s, enabling internet access over standard telephone lines using the V.90 or V.92 protocol. Today, this card is primarily sought by collectors and technicians restoring or maintaining Vaio PCV-LX800 systems, where the original modem or USB functionality needs to be replaced or supplemented.
