I have fixed my USB issues. Seems I was using USB 3 ports, the only ones on my computer except for 2 for the mouse and keyboard. The ivy bridge controller had a 15 device limit and the ASSmedia controller simply fails. I used a bracket into the motherboard usb 2.0 header and I now run 20 units fine. I may get 50 more so watch out people!

Just wanted you guys to support my P2Pool. 0% fee, 24/7 reliable!
I'm running my 8ghs on it.

The usb controller may still have issues even with virtualizing them.
Yes, you should be fine.
Wouldn't it be easier to install vmware + linux on one of those and run all on the same computer?
Is it ok to use 6 pin pci-e and leave 2 pins unplugged? I can only get 6 pins in. I cant force the 2 others because one is square and one is a circle. I don't want to ruin my PSU. IF you ever get the right connectors, can you send me 2? I can solder it myself.
Yes, you should be fine.

I also have 2 fans making noise, hope they don't fail. Otherwise these boards are great. I had to use 2 computers with 10 boards each because I have USB problems.

Yup I saw "resource limits reached" Fuck I hate the old days of IRQ. Still seems windows server 2012 x64 has the same limit.
Bitpop is using windows, so it's possibly a limit on the driver or something. 15 sounds like the maximum IRQ limit from the days of DOS.
May 18, 2013, 01:01:16 PM
Yeah I'm on windows.. 
I disagree. On our testbench we've been testing 50 Lancelots on a Linux computer at the same time.
Now we've got 12v 62Amps power supplies (will post them for sale too) and we're planning to up this number to 100 lancelots or more.
Back in March last year Xiangfu had at one stage 41 Icarus on one computer ...
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.816966
Later he had something like 90 for a short while, but I can't remember if it was on a single computer or not.
So I expect 100 Lancelot to work fine also.
Thanks. I ended up adding a second computer anyway due to usb problems. 128 device limit is bs. Mine couldn't handle 20. Or these serial chips suck. Wonder if prolific has the same issues. Ftdi Has always been a Bitch.

Do you mean using 6 instead of 8 pins or using 4 instead of 6?

What do all the buttons on the board do?
Are these boards ok to use with P2Pool?
And finally, the consensus is to use --icarus-timing short?

The connectors that we've used are not PCI-E because we couldn't find PCI-E as we've wrote everybody who've ordered ATX converters. We've delayed few orders for 3-4 days because we're waiting for the right connectors from the factory. We got the wrong connectors from the factory but we've discovered that you are actually able to fit the PCI-E connectors in these ones and they work without problems, so we've shipped them this way.
If you want the right connectors at the moment we need to place an order for 25000 pcs. Would you be willing to purchase this amount of connectors? :-)
Quick solution: just plug the PCI-E in using more force.
P.S: Imgur.com is blocked in China, I cannot see your pictures.

PROBLEM: Blackarrow, your pci-e ports are wrong! I can only get 6 pins in, not 8! You seem to have used EPS sockets. What is the remedy? Will there be shorts or problems with only 6 pins or were you expecting EPS and I will get shorts? I paid extra for a PSU with 2 8 pin pci-e and this is frustrating.

How do the usb ports translate into cygwin?
Install cygwin and run cgminer in its terminal program, which has a properly resizable window.
http://www.cygwin.com/
Cygwin is standard equipment on all of my Windows instances.
How do I increase the window size? I can only see 14, hoping there's one more but the window won't resize.

@ckolivas: Is there an issue tracker for cgminer? I am having trouble with ztex (hence dont want to threadjack here about competing vendor). Whats the best place to report it? I am a little reluctant to post in the huge cgminer thread without reading 512 pages....
bfgminer works fine, cgminer detects the ztex, but breaks during configuration. Id much rather use cgminer for my purpose.
Everything must go through the cgminer thread or by being reported directly to us in IRC, sorry. I had to disable git issues since people were using that to post their configuration problems for a long time making it useless for real issue tracking. Alas, ztex is a bit of a problem with no active maintainer at the moment, but there are other people beside me that help and monitor the cgminer thread.bfgminer works fine, cgminer detects the ztex, but breaks during configuration. Id much rather use cgminer for my purpose.
EDIT: Despite the apparently high post count, we do monitor the cgminer thread very closely. I just don't post in response to every bug report that is a repeat or config issue.

Okay, been mining for about 30 mins now, with power from the PSU and going strong, updated my earlier posts too as It was my fault that I didn't notice the not working green light on the power brick 
Use --icarus-timing short for 400Mhash performance.
Thanks
mining away perfectly ! and sending out about 5 diff1 shares per minuteThanks!
