For those that may be having issues getting the tablet to recognize.
Here is a package of drivers and an INF file I found that got mine working. (thanks Wayne Hall)

T9 - Running Android 2.2 - Froyo - Stock Base Image
Firmware Dated: 05-30-2011
I have uploaded the compressed .RAR file to the MID816.com website provided by our great Adrenalynn.
The file size is 528mb.

Remember this will FORMAT and ERASE your SD card.
I HIGHLY suggest making a backup image before replacing the existing one.
I also suggest trying to make a backup of any settings, saves, and personal data that you want to keep.
Titanium backup is usually suggested.
**PLEASE NOTE**
This is a STOCK basic image.
Imaging
There are many ways to apply an image file to a MicroSD memory card.
Below was my process. (provided as reference if needed)

BOOT as normalIf you are "writing" the image to a larger MicroSD card, you can use Knoppix (Bootable) and GParted to adjust/increase the 4 seperate partition sizes.
- make sure you do not "mount" the drive as this locks the partitions and you simply need to unmount before you can modify it.
UBCD is booted on your desktop/laptop/home pc, not the tablet.
I can also share a created ISO... so you don't have to download the program and make one yourself.

Just take that file and burn it with any imaging software to make your bootable disc.
