Take a marker and make a mark on your hand at both ends of the chip it will make it easier for you to line it up and exit your terminal window and disconnect your proxmark and start over. If you get a time out its best to restart. Se it that helps if not we will reset it to a blank t55 chip.

teeny,
I really appreciate the time you are taking to help! I might need to wipe it back to a blank t55 chip. Is there any instructions on wiping the chip? I don’t want to take up any more of your time!

Are you running the PM3 client in Linux or Windows?

Okay. Check that the modem manager is running.
$ ps ax | grep -i modem | grep -i manager

I was watching some videos on the install and was told to disable the modem manager. So It should still be disabled.

Well, I almost got burnt the other day with that: I had disabled it and it started all by itself. Hence my comment. I almost bricked my PM3 with that damn thing.
If you have it installed, just zap it.

I always wipe my chip to a blank t55 when programming it. I got the info from this thread. Lots of good info in it. https://forum.dangerousthings.com/t/xem-cloning-emulation-modes-and-the-perils-of-chinese-cloners/1547
Command
lf t55 write b 0 d 00088040 t
b = block
d = data
BLANK t55 config 00088040
t = debug mode
After you run the command you wont find you chip with lf search as its not set to emulate a chip yet.

Changing the default antenna to +accurate and doing a hw tune found the chipset.
but to clone my card, i had to reset it to a blank t55 chip (lf t55 write b 0 d 00088040)
Also had to use the DT antenna to write… the default one didn’t want to work for me.

Interesting. Good to know. I haven’t had to do that yet, but the day might come. If it does, it means I’ll have been thrown out of my current workplace. So, hopefully, never

Does this look like a bad option?

I had a quick look, and it didnt jump out at me, just make sure it is a 512 version NOT the 256
You may have to ask the seller,
UPDATE:-
actually I just had another look, and right near the bottom it confirms it.
Your other consideration is if you wand the 2 usb option which allows “standalone” function. ie. battery powered

So that looks decent to you is what you’re saying? I mean there’s no way you can know for sure obv 
but overall it looks like not a bad choice?

I could never get it to work on a PM3 Easy. It’d power by the port but never reconnect on the COM port
