Official drivers for NSC6001 are available from Microsoft Update. You must obtain them from:
It has an NSC6001 for a serial controller.
In these cases, you cannot disable it. You will need to run the original OS that the hardware was designed for (usually Windows XP Embedded or Windows 2000). Do not upgrade these machines to Windows 10.
Short-range wireless data exchange between laptops, PDAs, and mobile phones prior to the widespread adoption of Bluetooth and high-speed Wi-Fi. 2. Common Host Systems
We plugged it into our test bench—a Faraday-caged rig designed to isolate legacy ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) devices. The system BIOS chirped, enumerated the PCI bus, and spat out the identifier: ACPI\NSC6001 . acpi nsc6001
(safe, but watchdog/GPIO unavailable):
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. It is an industry specification that allows the operating system to control hardware power management. The "NSC" prefix generally refers to National Semiconductor, a manufacturer known for producing Super I/O chips and other low-level motherboard controllers.
When you see ACPI\XXXXXXXX in Device Manager, you are looking at a Plug and Play hardware ID that Windows detects from the BIOS. The ACPI\ prefix tells you it is a device controlled by the power interface.
Check the box for and select Windows 7 from the drop-down menu. Check Run this program as an administrator and click Apply . Execute the installer. Method 3: Disable the Port in System BIOS Official drivers for NSC6001 are available from Microsoft
Here’s a breakdown of the primary issues and their solutions across different systems:
The safest and most reliable way to obtain the verified driver package is through Microsoft's official database. Navigate to the official Microsoft Update Catalog . Search for the keyword .
IntelliTherm
stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. It is the part of your operating system that manages power consumption and hardware configuration. NSC6001 is a hardware ID representing a Fast Infrared (FIR) transceiver chipset manufactured by National Semiconductor. You will need to run the original OS
The ACPI\NSC6001 ID is most frequently found on legacy laptops from: Extensa 5620 Go to product viewer dialog for this item. TravelMate 6593 Go to product viewer dialog for this item. Extensa 5220 Go to product viewer dialog for this item. Fujitsu Siemens: Amilo Pro V8010 Go to product viewer dialog for this item. Other laptops from the 2005–2009 era. How to Fix ACPI\NSC6001 Driver Issues
The development and integration of features like IntelliTherm highlight the evolving nature of computing, where performance, efficiency, and user experience are increasingly intertwined with sophisticated management and optimization technologies.
Indicates the device communicates via the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface firmware interface, which manages power distribution and hardware detection.
If you are running Windows 10 or Windows 11, the original Windows 7 driver package will still function if forced manually.
