Post subject:  programmer not accepting maxflash driver, just a HID device.

So I got my maxflash programmer and 8mb carts today. the programmer detects as a vendor-defined device, I've installed the 64bit drivers for windows 10, downloaded the latest from here and tried those, even tried this on another machine. it always detects the same.

If I tell it to go use the maxflash.inf as the drive (the old windows I have a disk option). it says its not compatible with the device.

Its detecting as VID 10C4 and PID EACA

In the device events, it says this:-
Device HID\VID_10C4&PID_EACA\7&1e758adc&0&0000 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.

Last Device Instance Id: HID\VID_056A&PID_0084&Col02\a&1ceacfe7&0&0001
Class Guid: {745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da}
Location Path:
Migration Rank: 0xF000F800FFFFF100
Present: false
Status: 0xC0000451

Any ideas?

This has now been tested on 3 different machines, 2x win10 x64 and a win7 x64 machine.

Always detects as this HID device, and never accepts the driver as correct for the device.

My gut is telling me I have a blank programmer.

Here's my Device IDs panel. Based on the PID and VID in the driver, this isnt correct. (I've checked its this by unplugging).

Strange, it should list under atarimax devices.

I am a noob when it comes to windows/pc's.....
But here is a screenshot of what I see in my device-list.

Yeah, based on the info in the inf driver file, I'd expect the same. it is detecting two devices as per yours, just not with the correct VID and PID and its therefore not accepting the driver file, even when told to force it.

Just had a response from Steve, a small number of units went out with a broken firmware on it. He's shipping me a replacement unit.
