Notes:
- Fill out everything you can, if you can't, say so:
- Stuff you don't know should say "Don't know"
- Stuff that isn't applicable should have "N/A"
- Stuff that is same as before should say "same"
- If we don't know your essentials then we can't support you.
- If you're running unofficial/forked/customised code from a repo that isn't mine, expect less support.
- Where possible rip your firmware, as-is, zip and include it so it can be verified on the bench if required.
