Hello guys, i need some help, i got the Butterfly Labs 60 GH BitForce miner, i connected it to EVGA Supernova 750 power supply (only 1 miner connected to the PSU) and then connected the USB from the miner into the hub where i have some Antminers U2. After some stuggle i was able to install the drivers, so i can see the miner in the device manager, however it has no port assigned to it. When i start the BFGMiner, it start all the ants that i have, but does not see the BitForce...

Can you please guide me in the direction on how to make the miner work. I'm very deperate to see the miner at work.

THank you in advance.

have you jump started the power supply to work all the time as if it was open???
Sometimes when I was running my USB miners along with a single I had there were conflicts on the ports
try using another usb port of the computer not a hub and expect to have to restart it after 24-48 hours

You need to update your BFGminer. I don't believe 4.4.0 supports it.  You need 4.6.x or better.  Latest release is 4.7.0 I think.

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it.  There was never anything there in the first place.
