So I have a Butterfly Labs Monarch 700GH miner on a sled, and I'm striking out on setting up the miner software.  Right now I'm back to trying BFGMiner for Windows, and it looks like I may have a driver issue because BFGMiner isn't recognizing the miner in the USB port.  I updated the original driver that Windows populated to the BitFORCE SHA 256 driver.  Any thoughts on getting BFGMiner to recognize my ASIC spaceheater?  Thanks!

BFG Miner and a Monarch use the FTDI serial driver.  In my past experience you would need to use the hacked version of BFGMiner from BFL.  Regular BFG Miner didn't work with my Monarchs.

If your's has the older firmware in it then CGMiner will work, and better, but it uses the winusb driver.

If you want to continue with mainline BFGMiner then post in the correct support thread.
