I owe my soul to the Bitcoin code...
Just a quick check, did you increase the size of the command window and then restart cgminer?

True, i may have to do 4 copies. Maybe windows cgminer just doesnt support it. Search isnt helping my find others like me either.

When I was trying to get all of mine to work together, I just called multiple instances of cgminer.  It's ugly, for sure, but it worked till I could make some headway.  Way less ugly than having them just sitting there.

Everything I'm reading says that it should see them up to COM9, so for COM10 you'd need to use \\.\COM10 for anything above (i'm grasping at straws).  If the drivers don't work, I don't know what else it could be.

You could try installing the drivers:

See if that helps.

I'm running out of ideas.  What are the ports that your BFLs are assigned to (via Device Manager)?

You could try using the whole port, like this:

-S \\.\COM3 -S \\.\COM4 -S \\.\COM5

you need a -S for each:

-S COM4 -S COM5 -S COM6

Yeah, thats what I was thinking.  By repeating the same array value ("scan-serial") it might just be overwriting one value instead of multiple instances, so you end up with whatever that is set as (probably the last one).
