Ok, I've tried 2 different units on two different computers and none of them do this. Any idea what could cause this?


If the port were dead the CD emulator wouldn't show up and I wouldn't be able to see things in devmanager.


How do we confirm that the device is powered up? There is no indicator light anywhere, the fan is running and the chip gets slightly warmer, it also emits the slight odor of warm electronics.


yeah, that's basically what we've been trying, so nothing new there.


So are we! You don't get an emulated CD drive when you plug your hardware in? Even if you plug it in unpowered (that would confirm for us that the units aren't powered on correctly, despite doing the jumper-paperclip thing)

My thought is that the board doesn't have the correct firmware, I see that the USB device id is different on my units. They have device id 0ae0-2209.

I'll get some screen shots of this Combo Drive thing when I get home from work later today. Just so you can see what we're talking about.

When you do this the Combo Drive does not show up in Zadig. In fact when using the default driver the device shows up as a "GO! Suite USB Device" CD drive. It's only after using Zadig that the system sees it as a USB device. (I am on Win 7)

What exact version of CGminer are you using and what are the command line options you start it with? I just want to duplicate your setup precisely.

I also have Ubuntu Linux with CGminer compiled and I'm unable to get that CG miner to address these devices as well. (Despite the fact that it sees block erupters and a Jalapeno without issue)

Heya, Ken I'm stuck at this part. CGminer doesn't see the devices on Windows or Linux, just a CD emulation device. I've run WinUSB but it doesn't detect the device automatically and when I force select the device none of the 3 drivers provided causes CGminer to see these devices.

What command line options did you use to start CGminer? And how did you get it to see the devices?

I've got the linux version of CGminer compiled with HashFast support specifically but it still doesn't see the device. It does run Block Erupters and a BFL Jalapeno just fine though.

Reddit told me to find a guy called Bargraphics but I can't seem to find him on IRC right now and you're not responding to our phone calls requsting tech support.

We've got 10s of thousands of dollars of hardware here sitting idle waiting on the VMC compiled CGminer we were promised.
