    This is exactly the information you should pass on back to the author.
NSSI was developed by the author because there was not an acceptable tool 
that would identify the hardware (and some software) components of a machine 
brought in for repair without opening it up and taking everything apart - so 
he wrote one. It is in continuous development.  I had some hassles with it, I 
wrote to him, and he added my "unidentified" bits to the program.

   There are instructions for doing this in the package.

Regards,
        Ron
