Going to sit in the tml-support IRC for a bit.  Please join if anyone wants to troubleshoot.

   IF YOU EXPERIENCE HIGH ERROR RATES: try running just one ring at a
   time (e.g. use 'ztex:0:0.0' on command line instead of 'ztex:0').
   If each ring works error free on its own, but you get errors when
   running all three, it means your power supply is sagging.

Well... I've been unable to get any of the miners to get to the "programming" stage.  The long poll just sits there...

In the past, it programmed all four FPGAs on the quad, but I don't see any of those messages now.

As a newbie, I can't post anywhere but here.  Once I get access, I'll ask that this thread be moved.

I'm going to post thoughts and solutions for the ModMiner Quad firmware update, as well as TML support.

I've had trouble with stability and firmware updates, but I've finally gotten 4 to run overnight. However, this morning the power supply blew.

actual performance is strongly dependent on the capacity and quality of the power supply

This is no joke.

Just wanted to get a starting point here so I can document as I can.
