Topic: ASICMiner controller Question.. (Read 894 times)
Oh, um, thanks.
The Tube controllers work alright for Tubes, but I've had very little luck running a Prisma off one reliably. And when I say "work alright" I mean there's no failover pool options and their stratum implementation is broken so it only works by default on a few pools (we've cooked up some proxies that scrub out some of the problems, but not all).
The USB adapters give a lot more flexibility, as support is now built into cgminer.
I've had Prismas running for a few months on USB adapters and Pis using CrazyGuy's Minera image. They're as stable as Prismas get, I reckon.
If you're in need of the proper USB adapter and can't get one from AM themselves, check here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unofficial-usb-adapters-for-asicminer-tubeprisma-882348
I like Novak's adapters better than AM's stock adapters. There's probably not much functional difference though.

Thanx for the feedback!!! And you prolly hear this a lot but---When they release the next gen miners and I need some power,
I will be lookin at your power supply deal. Also, I have sent a few other noobs (like me) your way.

I've read the stock controller on Prismas/Tubes are unreliable and
you can use a uart/usb adapter in its place.
So...whats the most reliable road to take from that point???
Hook it all to a usb brick and Pi???
