^^^^ Re: Long, informative USB stuff Ok, now I get it. Rather than the issues of collisions found in hubbed CSMA like Ethernet USB is multiplexed with the host controller as master. I was worried that USB introduced collisions in the formal sense. That would definitely be a problem for non buffered nonces every 70ms. Ok, I can relax now edit: I believe FTDI usb/serial chips have advanced driver settings to control payload buffering in the chip.

Gaah! I've been looking for a nice low power simple and cheap nettop type PC to run my FPGAs and ASICs (if/when they arrive), but they all seem to be 19v supply. Which is terribly inconvenient when I have my nice efficient ATX PSU sitting right there delivering a juicy 12v. The only 12v ones are over-priced (imo) and not well spec'ed compared to the 19v ones available. Guess I'll have to use the power brick

I thought you were using that to mine?

I'm not entirely convinced it'll be fast enough for ASICs, maybe it would be... either way, I updated the firmware and put the wrong one on and bricked it :/ Tried the serial recovery... not working either.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that, as your thread was my inspiration! Nice! That's certainly a lot more powerful then the router, at least 2x the CPU speed 8x the memory (though that's not so important). It would probably handle a few asics OK. I wanted something a bit more powerful, I'll have 240GH/s when the asics arrive, also want to run a full bitcoin node, and probably use it as a media / backup server since it'll always be on.

Ya that's what I'm hoping. I got just over 200GH/s myself, but I don't plan on doing anything besides running CGMiner, so it should be adequate. I'm concerned about running it over wifi, but I can always pick up a usb->ethernet adapter as a backup, run 8 ASICs instead of 9, and still have the whole setup for under $75.

I see there's a new version (III) with a dual 1.6GHz Arm Processor, that might be enough...

I looked into that, and realized there are still a few problems. The MK802, MK802+, and MK802 II all used the same chipset, the Allwinner A10. This has been out for a while, so there is plenty of Linux support for these devices. The MK802 III, MK808, and UG802 switched to a dual core chipset, the RK3066. There are early, alpha builds of Ubuntu available, but with complicated installation procedures and many known issues (such as not being able to use the internal wifi). Because of this, I choose the older, but better supported devices.

Can it run win7 or XP It has ATI6320 onboard video,should play minecraft pretty well,right Got some customers looking to get something for thier kids to play that game Edit: Yeppers,Win7 needs to be installed from a USB stick.Found the info here in the feedback.........I LOVE NEWEGG http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856173035Some folks are talking about an overheat issue,hmmm

Some say it's cool, some say it over heats. I suspect the over-heaters are pushing the little thing beyond what it's designed to do.

Definitly not for mining But for minecraft or websurfing it should be what my customers are looking for.Just a little concerned about that possible heat issue
