** MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 is an alternative
to EV2300, for 64 bit Windows. The EV2300 will also
work with bqStudio if Windows can recognize the
EV2300. Most 64-bit Windows PCs are unable to recognize the EV2300.
Note: bqStudio supports MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 when
using I2C and SMBus (HDQ support is work in progress
as of 4/6/2022).
