Getting this oldie to work again.

[salvgrd]

Hey guys, I got this old miner that I wanna get to work, to be honest I dont know the exact model name, it has 48 cards with "BioInfoBank PicoStocks 100TH mine" written on them, connected to an m6 board, they are supposed to be controlled by a Raspberry Pi v-1.2 B+. I tried using cfgminer 5.5 with it but it doesnt seems to work, and I have been on Google all day and it seems that im not the only one having issues with these machines. If any of you guys know what to do, what am I doing wrong or what does it take to make them work, me and a whole lot of people would really appreciate it! I will post some pictures of the miner tomorrow/later today that might be helpful.

EDIT: Here are some pictures of  it, also a picture of the card.

Sounds like you have the old Bitfury H cards. Wish I still had my RPi image I could share with you.

I know we got the software from MegaBigPower AKA Dave Carlson, which is where our H card setups came from.

Maybe someone at Gigawatt (which assimilated MegaBigPower) would have an old archive of their software setup?

I've got an H-card setup sitting on my archive shelf somewhere, with Pi attached. If I have time today (and remember it) I'll see about IMGing the SD card and post a download link in case that helps.

I'll try to contact them via phone or email, but I think I need to know the exact name of this miner so they can help me out, right?

EDIT: I just reached them via email, but they don't have the software anymore.

That would be awesome! I just got a couple questions because I'm not very familiar with RPi or Linux at all. When you guys talk about a "RPi Image" is it like and OS? I mean: is it something I need to install in the SD card like I did with Raspbian?

I really appreciate all your help, sincerely thank you.
