WTS Alcheminer 256 MH/s miner and boards

I have an Alcheminer 256 MH/s miner. The cpu is bad so I have 8 mining boards from the machine. All work. I am willing to sell them separately.

I am looking for around $90 a board, but it is negotiable. Feel free to offer.

There are ways to download custom firmware to get these boards running with ubuntu. See here:https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=27370.0

when you say cpu is bad, you mean the raspberry or the control board?

About how much mh/s and power draw per board? I actually have a pi coming in this week. May look into this if it's worthwhile

The control board it came with. You can use the tutorial in that thread to hook them up to a pi. They are already flashed with that firmware.

Any idea on power draw? not too familiar with this piece of hardware. Sorry...

Sorry.. I'm just not familiar enough with the hardware to take a chance on it @ $90 a board.. However, this may be a GREAT deal for someone that is more familiar with the hardware. Good luck with sale!

It can be connected to a raspberry pi and flashed with firmware. I have the link in my post, but I don't have experience with raspberry pi.

It's a PITA and there is no guarantee everything works 100% with the boards as he can't test it.
If he fixes it and can prove they work as intended someone will buy it, but for a 'very' longshot, sadly it won't get you much $$.
Maybe someone will get it as a project to play with, but it will be cheap. I'd offer 1/2BTC for the whole set, IF it comes with the original case and box.
Otherwise it's a paperweight, sorry.

I was able to flash the firmware into the boards, the firmware in the thread. So the boards run. I just couldn't figure out how to start the miner application

That is what I was wanting to pick one up for. Just a project to play with and maybe learn something new. But, $90 is quite expensive for just a project I may never get working. They would have to be much cheaper. How do these boards connect to the computer? Usb?
