Title: Open Question for Avalon Asics module backwards compatibility
Post by: jspielberg on April 16, 2013, 07:02:34 PM

Has there been any word if future (AvAs2?) hashing modules will be backwards compatible with the current architecture?

They looks like they are pretty plug-n-play with the power and 40 line ribbon cable.  Would be great for those lucky ones who are able to get AvAs1's t be able to move up to higher speed/smaller process node asics without having to junk the whole box.
