Just keep restarting the mining software until all 0 - 7 show up. This happens all the time and is not the fault of the mining software or external hardware. The same behavior occurs for me whether in linux or windoze, whether using cgminer or bfgminer. Think they got the internal USB hub from kmart and the engines themselves can be flakey. Enjoy the heatwave when all 8 engines are nice and toasty. Smiley

Check the hub inside.  Or better yet install the one that works  Wink

minis are really 8 singles in a box hooked up to a usb hub.

Dont worry about those FTDI Drivers. Use these drivers and use CGMiner 3.3.4

https://code.google.com/p/libusb-winusb-wip/downloads/detail?name=zadig.exe&can=2&q=

Make sure you have your minirig plugged in usb and power.. run the zadig.exe   and choose your mini rig in the drop down and install the new driver.

Run CGMiner, and it should recognize your rig.

Buy a cheap laptop, install Ubuntu and cgminer. Plug it in.

Or a raspberry pi...
