Thanks! Just to make it clear: I do not refuse to help people who hasn't bought the boards from the primary vendors. I've made the IOIO open source so that it *can* be made and sold by anyone. However, I've seen several examples of really poorly made boards out there, and it is hard for me to help debug hardware issues when it is not clear that the person I'm talking to is holding the same circuit I'm expecting.
