Hello,
 so I'm trying to run a jalapeno, a bfl fpga single, a handful of asicminer usb eruptors and a blade (which i'm getting soon iagr) at the moment.
 i have one computer running the bfl products with cgminer and another running the asicminer products also with cgminer.
Is it possible to have all that run from just one machine, because I'd love to get my laptop back..
When I plug bfl and asicminer products on the same machine, cgminer bugs out on start. I wanted to run two instances of cgminer separately, pointing each at different cards. but I can't get it to run even one.
I've heard you can use two different mining soft simultaneously but i don't know my way around the mining software world anymore, i stopped following the new projects when i found cgminer a while back now. So I'm hard pressed to think of one to run in parallel, let alone two as cgminer seems to hate having different brands hooked up.
How can I get my laptop back?

Machine 1 (bfl) is a shitty little micro pc running windows 7 pro off an atom chip and Machine 2 (asicminer) is a asus laptop with Win 7 Ulti off an i3. I'm not adverse to putting a Linux on the micro PC if that helps anything, but i'll be asking a lot of silly questions for a while..


I hope no one else has posted this type of problem before, if so, sorry and could you point me in the right direction?

 I'm fairly certain that 4 Erupter USB's, a BFL Jaly, and a RasPi use more than 2 watts.

This thread pertains to the host controller for the mining equipment  Wink

As to the total power draw, 68 watts for 9.2Gh/s

I compiled CGminer from the source code on the default Raspian image you can download from the raspberry pi website.

Minepeon also works well and comes pretty much ready to go
