Bootleg Nanos, manual update required.

Bought about a year ago and used on my Linux machine as do all my toys. I needed to do something very quickly, so I connected to the Windows machine and this is where the problems start: 1. The USB drivers are not installed at all. A VIN:PIN search will reveal many dubious sites. Windows Update didn't find it. The USB chip maker is still in business. I saw a verified Microsoft page that search engines don't usually send people to. This site had a .cab file with the correct USB drivers. 2. No crystal oscillator found, period. Limited by inaccurate internal clock making Arduino slow. 3. Card number and serial number are not displayed. The same thing happens on my Linux machine. 4. Sketches are loaded randomly. Change the board you're working with a few times and it will take you some time to remember what combination of settings is required to make that board work. 5. It's open source. You received this chart from someone else. Nothing you do is going to make it make $$$$$ like a purpose-built device. post instructions. At the moment this is offensive to paying customers. 6. One came with the old bootloader, the other came with the new bootloader. I didn't want to test all the possibilities as I can't match the collected data to any specific nano as he has no BN or SN from it. Stay away from this fundraiser. America was excited by what was happening on topical issues. These sellers should be banned.
